Proposed Armidale/Coffs BUG weekend.
Coffs Harbour BUG are inviting Armidale BUG riders to a weekend of warmth and fun on the ‘Coast’ in July’ 2007.
The date for the weekend is as follows: Friday 27th July through to Sunday 29th July.
Accommodation: Armidale BUG members are invited to stay with Coffs BUG riders who are happy to offer hospitality in their homes. Alternatively there is plenty of accommodation around Sawtell.
Suggested Agenda
Friday night: As most riders will not arrive in Coffs until later in the evening we thought they may wish to just rest up ready for Saturday’s busy schedule.
Saturday: Community ride from Coffs City centre. These rides are run by the local cycling clubs and city council.
Start time 6.30am. The rides are graded into 4 groups and generally take us around the cycle ways of Coffs heading south to Toormina/Sawtell and back via the Jetty to the city square.
We usually are back in the city by 8.00am where we can indulge in breakfast etc. There are a number of cafes open in the square that offer a choice of breakfasts and make good coffee.
After breakfast Coffs BUG plan to show the visitors around other parts of Coffs via some cycle paths and the Jetty area and on to Park Beach and perhaps ride up to Bruxner Park.
The afternoon is free.
Saturday evening a trip to Sunny Sawtell for alfresco dinning at Barrels restaurant. Barrels cater for most diets and are reasonably priced. Dress is casual. Our local cinema is just a few doors down from Barrel’s so there may be an option to see a movie.
Sunday: Bush ride on forest roads and trails in the Bongil Bongil National Park.
Meet at the old Raleigh Service Station on the Old Pacific Highway at 10.00am.
You will need a mountain bike for this ride, as there is mainly gravel and dirt with some bitumen. There are some steep sections but great downhills. Some of us did this ride in preparation for the Big Ride. Great scenery!
April is ride leader but as she is sloooow (hill slug), especially on her mountain bike, John will actually lead, while April cruises at the rear.
Back in good time for the drive back to Armidale.
The above weekend itinerary is only a suggestion. The Sunday ride is a scheduled BUG ride.
