HTFU Cycle touring – Glow Worm Tunnel Cycle out.

Hi all,

Driving just isn’t as awesome as cycling? Particularly down a nice quiet road in a lovely part of NSW. This year Boree log will be at Newnes Campground, which is an eminently cycle-able distance from Lithgow Station.

This is a trip in two parts:

Part 1 – We out EXTREME everyone else (except maybe the night canyoners) by riding out to Newnes Campground. We’ll be leaving late, so you’ll need some good lights for your bike.

Part 2 – We ride back on the Sunday via the glow worm tunnel to Bell station. This will be a really pretty ride, and should be along quiet roads almost all of the way.

What you will need to join in on this trip:
1. A bike – Not just any bike. It needs to be able to handle dirt roads, and be well maintained. For those unsure, I’ll be at the cycle club on campus during the week before (tuesday and thursday 12-2pm), and can check your bike over.
2. Panniers/A backpack – While normally for cycle touring you take everything, Niels has kindly offered to haul the heavy stuff up to the campground in his mighty defender. To take advantage of this, you’ll have to have your stuff organised by gear night (the wednesday) before boree log.
3. Food and water – It is a long way, you’ll need food and water for the trip.
4. Comfortable clothing for cycling, Rain jacket etc.
5. Good (ish) legs – we won’t be setting a cracking pace, so you don’t need to be super fit.

If you have any questions, feel free to send me a Facebook message,

Cheers, and hope to see you riding,

Sam
