Now two rides in the coming months need some notice for your planning.
First is Helen Walker’s Cobb and Co Cycle Tour from Wednesday 21st to Tuesday 27th August. This is a loop tour starting in Condamine in the Darling Downs. Helen has fully detailed the ride in the Calendar and wants to highlight the following points,…
•This tour coincides with the Cobb and Co Festival to celebrate the last Cobb and Co coach ride in Australia from Surat to Yuleba in 2024.
•Free day in Surat to enjoy the festivities.
•The Surat-Yuleba Road is officially closed on Sat 24 to Sun 25 Aug for the re-enactment ride but BBTA has special permission to ride on the Sun, staying behind the coach and horses.
•There is no food and water available for the two-day return trip from Yuleba to Condamine via Yuleba Creek and riders should be self-sufficient.
Please consider,…as it will be a top tour and to be part of 100 year celebrations of a by gone era
The other tour to consider is Peter Brennan’s Ballina to Casino weekend Supported ride down for 7th and 8th September.
