BICYCLE WAGGA
RUMOUR has it that the Hills Ride has had more than a few out undertaking secret and some not so secret training rides.
Well, the test will come this weekend.
On Saturday, we will head to Jingellic via Holbrook.
After lunch then it’s off to Tumbarumba and for those with energy still to burn the final kick up to Laurel Hill.
Sunday’s return route will be different to past years due to flood damage.
We will pass through Rosewood, Carabost and Humula.
If you need any details then please contact Lindsay Wilson on 0419 611 424 as soon as possible.
The very pleasant weather of late has meant that the regular rides are drawing good numbers.
Hopefully weather this will extend through up to, and including, Easter.
Once again Bicycle Wagga will be conducting a series of rides over the Easter break.
More details about this next week.
Until then, keep on cycling.
