Last Sunday six riders enjoyed the warm spring weather and magnificent views on the Bellawongarah to Cambewarra Lookout ride. One hardy cyclist rode to the start of the ride from his home in Worrigee, which included the climb up Cambewarra mountain. After a relaxing coffee at Cambewarra Lookout, whilst admiring the view, the riders returned to the start at Bellawongarah. The rider from Worrigee enjoyed the thrill and reward of riding down Cambewarra Mountain and home.
