SBUG Monthly Meeting Wednesday 5 August at 7 pm
Last Thursday sixteen riders enjoyed a great 47km picturesque cycle around Lake Illawarra on a splendid warm and sunny morning with very little breeze. Three riders had not previously cycled around the Lake and where very impressed with the extent of the cycle paths and their close proximity to the water. The ‘Cup of Love Cafe’, at Mt Warrigal, coped admirably with providing lunch for the group.
Seven riders attended last Sunday’s leisurely ride from Berry to Broughton Vale and back. Two riders rode from Nowra and one from Shoalhaven Heads to met the other riders in Berry. The weather was overcast with increasing sunshine as the ride progressed. Refreshments were consumed at the Book Shop Café to end off a pleasant morning ride.
