CYCLING: Past and Future Rides

Hello Fellow Pedallers, 

 

The Past Cycling Week, getting warmer!

Monday: Dulguigan Urliup: 7 riders led by Linda on a 37k route that might have had a few wet roads but had apparently drained away for a clear run. Nice to see some fine weather. Thanks Linda

Monday: 18 riders for Lennox to Ballina,  Thanks Alan.

Tuesday: 9 attended Tuesday around town, thats a pretty good crowd for a Tuesday, must be good leadership.  Thanks Gail

Wednesday: we tried something a little different today. 14 started off at the south end of Newrybar swamp Rd, then split at the top of Martins Lane for a shorter (30k) and longer  40k) circuit. All arrived at coffee at about the same time, then off all went and the short circuit folk beat the others back to the car. Yves had a broken chain and was rescued at Tintenbar, Ron went up a wrong road and did 10k extra. Leaders Anna and Chris

Anna managed to lead these three home safely, the other, larger, group managed to get well scattered on their way home.

 

Friday, 12 riders in Ruth event from Billinudgel Pub via Sth Golden Beach and the Wooyung Reserve grassy, wooded, track to Wooyung Rd, then Rail Trail to Burringbar and back. First time on this track for at least 4, maybe 6 of the riders, everyone had a ball. It's on again at Christmas Cycle. Thanks Ruth
