Join SBUG On Their Eurobodalla Weekend Ride!
SBUG members are looking forward to a weekend of riding and social activities in conjunction with Eurobodalla BUG from this Saturday 15th August until Monday 17th August 2015. The weekend of rides will include an early start at the popular Moruya riverside Markets on Saturday mornings and an unofficial ride to Moruya Heads on Saturday afternoon. On Saturday evening a dinner will take place at ‘Balcony on Shore’ restaurant, Moruya. While on Sunday we ride along north bank of Moruya river to coffee at Mossy Point with the afternoon free for resting or sight seeing. On Sunday evening a BBQ will be held at the indoor kitchen/recreation room at Riverbreeze Tourist Park.
The highlight of the weekend will be on the Monday when we combine with EBUG for very scenic ride in Bodalla area. Lunch will be at the Dairy Shed, Bodalla. Thank you to President Mel for organising and promoting this wonderful weekend of cycling!

Last Thursday eleven riders enjoyed a new mountain bike ride on tracks behind Bherwerre Beach in the Booderee National Park. The morning was cold but warmed up nicely with only light winds. Refreshments were had at the Bayview Bakery after the ride. Thanks to Karen for leading the ride.
Seven riders attended last Sunday’s ride from Huskisson to Wrights Beach and return. It was a clear and cold morning with no wind, excellent riding conditions. The group rode along the Huskisson to Vincentia shared cyclepath, the Wool Road and Jervis Bay Road before entering the Jervis Bay National Park on a fire trail. The route continued through Wrights Beach, Bream Beach and Erowal Bay with a coffee break at Vincentia before returning to Huskisson.
