Last calls for ANZAC "DAY" RIDE and the Long Weekend Ride

A Reminder from Mick that there are two rides on over the long weekend - both to Temora, one just for Anzac Day or the longer whole weekend ride! See below or check out the "Whats On" for more details.

Hi All,

I am just letting you know if you would like to go to Temora for the day I will be going out to Temora and returning back to Canberra in the afternoon.
Everyone has to be fueled up and ready to ride by 7.20 for the ride briefing.


Regards
Mick

ANZAC Long Weekend Three-Day Ride to Lake Cargelligo and Narrandera
We’ve organised a three-day ride from Friday 25th to Sunday 27th April, staying overnight in Lake Cargelligo and Narrandera. This is an extension of our usual one-day ride to Temora to take part in the Anzac Day march and a great chance to see parts of inland NSW we rarely get to visit.

Friday 25th April

Leave: Caltex Nicholls 7:30am sharp
Peter Arday will lead the combined ride to Temora and return. Those of us continuing on the three-day ride will leave Temora after lunch at the Ex-Services Memorial Club and ride via West Wyalong to Lake Cargelligo. 

We’ll be staying in the Lachlan Way Motel, 2 Foster Street, Lake Cargelligo, (02) 6898 1201. It’s right across the road from the lake and I think the deluxe rooms have a nice view of the park and lake. Book your own accommodation. As of 8th April they had 5 rooms left. If the Lachlan Way Motel is full, there are also the Lake Cargelligo Motel and a couple of pubs. Dinner will be at one of the pubs, a short walk from the motel.

Saturday 26th April

Brekky at the motel (not much else available on a Saturday morning in LC). We'll ride west on Lachlan Valley Way to Hillston for coffee beside the Lachlan River (the road is all sealed despite what your map might tell you) and then head south on Kidman Way to Griffith for lunch. We’ll probably call in at Darlington Point on the way from Griffith to Narrandera, where we’ll be staying in the Narrandera Club Motor Inn, 38 Bolton Street, Narrandera, (02) 6959 3123. Book your own accommodation. The RSL Club is right across the road and it’s only a short walk to other restaurants.

Sunday 27th April

We’ll return to Canberra via Coolamon, Junee and Cootamundra.

In summary:

Skill Level: 3 (suitable for most riders, though the first day is fairly long at 400km)
Leave: Caltex Nicholls Friday 25th April at 7:30am sharp 
Leader: Ian Paterson 0427 291 728

Book your own accommodation (did I already mention that?) and let me know you’re coming.

Cheers,
Ian
