At 7.45am outside Dickson Pool, there was only a small group of cyclists gathered. But within minutes, the scene changed drastically as riders kept rolling in. Soon, there were hundreds.
The turnout was a testimony to an outpouring of support from the Canberra cycling community, who gathered on a misty Saturday morning to ride in tribute to fellow cyclists Bridie Lee, 32, and Ryan Riethmuller, 39. Both tragically died following a crash on Gungahlin Drive on August 27.
