Woodgate Ride - 26th & 27th July 2008
Quick word of explanation- Burrum Heads and Woodgate are on opposite sides of the Burrum River- but they are many kilometres apart by road. Until one enterprising individual lately started a ferry service across the Burrum River. Wow- what better venue for a bike ride! Three possibilities- ride Hervey Bay to Burrum Heads and ferry across (all bike), car sag to Burrum Heads (half bike) or car sag the long way around. Plus quite a few stopped over an extra day to ride to Childers for their huge Multicultural Festival on the Sunday.

Some of the BUG's on the ride.

Left: I WON'T sing Skye Boat Song -crossing the Burrum R per ferry.

Right: Well.. what some married couples get up to .... surely there weren't THAT few seats on the ferry?

Must be daytime and night-time shots- what a difference! Pic on right is only one table- lots of ém at another table too!

Left: Quick regroup- couldn't have been lost - could they??

Right: Woodgate By The Sea- well caravan park eatery anyway!

Cardno River to River - May long weekend 2008
                                                                   
May long weekend 2008 saw around 40 cyclists from as far afield as Bundaberg, Mt Perry and Sunshine Coast descend on Hervey Bay for the annual River to River ride which traverses this fair city from its northern most boundary- the Burrum River to its southernmost boundary- the Mary River in two days of action packed fun. 
LEFT- TOP - start at Burrum Heads Saturday morning

The overnight stop was the Colonial Backpackers at Urangan where great times were had over dinner Saturday night. The ride was fully catered and took in scenery ranging from rolling bushland, seaside towns like Toogoom and River Heads, sweeping ocean views (along with some hill climbs!) and of course the legendary Hervey Bay foreshore path which runs along the waterfront for some 14 kms. 

LEFT-BOTTOM finish at Pier Park Urangan after riding out to River Heads (Maryy River and back) Sunday morning.

Modified Sports for Seniors Expo - Feb 2008

    

                                                                   
The Brolga Theatre Maryborough was the venue for the Modified Sports for Seniors Exo in late February 2008. It was an initiative of the Maryborough and Hervey Bay Cty Councils and Queensland Govt Sport and Rec.

The Fraser Coast BUG stall was well attended with many interested folks rolling up to the sessions asking questions and trying bikes. The Expo moved to Hervey Bay the next day but there was no space for cycling demos so we simply ran an info table.

Big thanks too to Fraser Coast Cycling who joined us and helped out.
