ISLAND HOPPERS - NEW SYDNEY RIVER BRIDGE

The CB Island Hoppers take a walk across the New Sydney River Bridge.
We take claim to being the first large organized group of 13 walkers to go across the bridge!!!
In addition to the new bridge, Pedestrians and bicycles  now have their own walkway/bicycle lane across this very busy bridge. There is a concrete medium between traffic and Active Transportation pedestrian making this a much safer bridge to cross for both cars and pedestrians.

Concrete medium helps to protect pedestrians

Very wide pathway or sidewalk can safely accommodate bicycles and pedestrians

Stopping in the middle of the bridge for a photo shoot

On the or near the Sydney River side of the bridge. Great day for a walk!

THE CHRITMAS LIGHTS OF SYDNEY

CB ISLAND HOPPERS ON THE SYDNEY BOARDWALK - Photos Cal Thistle
 
 
 It was a great night for a walk and Don did a really good job leading sixteen of us around and showing us some of the Christmas lights.
 Judy and the girls on the social committee did a wonderful job of hosting the after walk social at Judy's with hot refreshments and sweets.
Club members reminisced about Christmas's past and their plans for this festive season. A lovely time had by all.
Below are some pictures I took last night.
Merry Christmas and Hope Santa is good to you all.
