100 miler
Or a 'Ride Plan Work in Progress'
An idea is gestating (or is it festering) in the mind of the president for a CH BUG "century" ride -maybe in spring.
That is a 100 MILES Ride! Have you ever ridden 100 miles? That is 160km!
So this idea is being floated for comment.
I suggest you keep your fitness level up through winter if you want to do this one!
Here's a suggested route for a CH BUG's 100 mile / 160 km ride:
Drive to Brooms Head near Maclean on Saturday and have a beach day and camp overnight. Early Sunday hit the road on our bikes to Maclean. 23km?
Then to Grafton via the Lawrence ferry. 45km?
Back to Coffs via Glenreagh. 86km?
Might then need to finish at the jetty or ride around in circles to click past 160 km.
I'll get more precise distances first.
This route has very few hills and not much traffic. We could have some vehicles providing support. Brooms Head is a great place to camp. We could leave the drivers/non-riders to pack up on Sunday morning. Do it in spring or autumn.
What do you think? Please comment before the idea gets out of hand. I mean I might suggest we should go for 200km -starting at Casino!
