88 km to Grafton!

Last Sunday five CH BUG members (Jo, April, Mark, Ian and John) plus 2 other riders (Lee and Katie) rode 88km to Grafton as part of the inaugural Westlawn Camp Quality Charity Ride.

It was great having support vehicles giving security front and back. Red Hill made the start challenging but the rest was easy and we averaged 20 kmh. It wasn't hilly, just undulating. Lunch was provided at the "Golden Dog" at Glenreagh and bottled water (and a free bike water bottle) and energy bars were always available.

The highlight for most of us was being escorted across the Grafton bridge at the finish. At Grafton dinner was provided and a band entertained us. Other riders had ridden from Ballina, Yamba and Glen Innes(?) Most of us expect to be there again next year as it was an enjoyable day. Thanks to Jim for transporting us back and Ian for the bike transport.
