The new hub near Helensburgh will compliment that presently working well at Oakdale which will continue to service Sydney’s west.
The Darkes Forest program is scheduled to begin in the New Year when ride days will be held on the third Sunday of every month. “To get started we are having a Come and Try Day on Sunday from 10am to 1pm,” Ms Read said.
