2008 Coffs Harbour BUG 100 mile ride!

This is a challenging, fun, social ride for fit, experienced cyclists and a great goal to set for yourself. There are few local opportunities to do a long one day ride like this with a support crew.

It all began last year
· Twelve riders all completed the inaugural 2007 ride enduring 36 degree heat, a thunderstorm and headwinds! They all want to do it again! That was in October. This year we will ride in mid August. An average mid August day should be perfect with a cool start, a sunny day, low humidity and little chance of rain.

If you are interested
· This is a social, non-competitive ride but you need to be able to average at least 23kmh for the day! You need to have done a ride of 100km+ before.

Support & Transport
· There will be vehicles providing support including food for all the stops. We will need volunteers who can provide transport to Brooms Head for bikes and riders or drive vehicles back . If you can help come and enjoy the beach / camping / social experience! Last year’s support crew had such a good time they want to do it again too!

Accommodation
· To get an early start we will camp at Brooms Head (about 2 & 1/4 hours from Coffs Harbour) the night before. Have a beach day on Saturday and camp overnight.

The Route
· Brooms Head - Coffs Harbour in one day!
· Brooms Head – Maclean – Lawrence – Grafton – Glenreagh – Coffs Harbour.
· Total Distance: 100 Miles / 161km

Date: Sunday 17th August 2008

If you want to take on this challenge, provide support or just come for the camping please contact John as soon as possible for full details and so as to allow plenty of time to organise transport and camping/accommodation.
