Ride Report: Dubbo Coffee Shop Easy Ride
Ride Report from Grahame Keast.
8-13 Sept 2008 – Dubbo, N.S.W.
Nine riders, two support personnel and two little nips aged two and zero. That was the team that did the Dubbo Coffee Shop Easy Ride. I rode 342 km with an average of 57 per day. It was a very pleasant week of riding. People came from Sydney, Macksville, Armidale, Central Coast and Dubbo. We were joined by some Dubbo veteran cyclists early in the week and then two teenagers joined us on our last day.
The daily rides went out one direction and then came back or else did a loop ride returning to Dubbo. Amongst other places we visited Eumungerie (our biggest day), Old Dubbo Road, Wambangalang, Rawsonville and Minore. There was a considerable range in ability amongst the riders with a number of the less experienced ones posting personal bests and then beating that the following days. We made it to different coffee shops each day upon our return to Dubbo – hence the name of the ride. Weather could not have been better. Thanks Lord.
My daughter Deb rode most days with her 2 year old in the trailer behind her bike. I tried it one day and I decided it is definitely best suited to a younger or stronger rider! I personally raised $1817 towards the Wontulp-Bi-Buya college near Cairns. This college equips Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders to reach out to their communities with God’s word using local forms of communication and language
