Tour de Cowra 2005
Easter weekend, March 25 – 28
If you've never ridden the Tour de Cowra you've missed a great cycling event. The weekend is also a very social time with so many Bike North members all camped in Cowra with nothing much to do except cycle on quiet country roads and have a great time each day apres-ride chatting, eating and drinking or seeing the local attractions in and around town.
See the brochure in this edition of Chain Mail (see the PDF version) for more details and the registration form.
Accommodation: Be sure you to book your accommodation early as everything in Cowra is booked out well ahead at Easter each year.
Many Bike North members stay at the Cowra-Van Park. If you wish to stay there make sure you say you are with Bike North otherwise they will tell you the park is full! We have some camping sites and a few cabins set aside for us. See you all there!
RTA Big Ride 2005
This ride is Bicycle New South Wales' premier event, it starts at Kosciuszko on 19 February and finishes in Kiama 27 February 2005. It is a nine-day fully supported fun-filled holiday in the great Australian outdoors, organised by NSW's peak community cycling organisation. Each day you'll be provided with a pleasant place to pitch your tent (with clean toilets and hot showers nearby), three hearty meals, a fully supported cycle route and transport for your luggage.
This year we have organised a Bike North Team.
- For Teams Day it would be great if you had a Bike North jersey
- Camp together under the Bike North flag
- Free team photo and Prizes each evening at the briefing!!
We plan to organise a get together before the event so let Yaffa know at yaffagould@hotmail. com if you are interested in coming along. For more info about the ride itself check out RTA Big Ride 2005 website http://bigride.com.au/ See you there!!
