It is now less than 4 weeks to go until the annual BBTA Sunshine Coast Noosa Supported Tour on the weekend of 7/8 June! As per last year we will be doing a loop ride each day out of Noosaville rather than a point-to-point ride, with all rides on paved roads. Currently we have 19 riders and 6 supporters registered and we have plenty of accommodation available. Registration closes Friday 23 May.
By signing on to the tour you are automatically booked into our accommodation in Noosaville at the Villa Noosa Hotel, where we will be dining on Saturday as well. Please let Peter know if you are booking accommodation for 1 night or twoor if you are planning to twin share a room or have a non-riding partner who will be joining you in Noosaville for accommodation/dinner.
This ride is for BBTA members only, so if you are not a member sign up via the website. There will be several options for rides each day with a variety of distances, with all rides each day starting/finishing at the carpark of the Villa Noosa Hotel, Noosaville. Saturday's rides range from 38km to 90km and Sunday's rides 56km to 88km. You can register for the ride on the BBTA website (or app) or if you have any issues please email Peter (pbrennan58@gmail.com) to register.
COSTS
There is a $25 Tour Administration fee for riders only, payable when paying for accommodation. Payments to Peter's account open on 10 May and are due by Saturday 24 May and are non-refundable unless the tour is cancelled. Please do not make any payments before 10 May and Peter will send details for those who do not have the account details.

SATURDAY LUNCH/DINNER & SUNDAY BREAKFAST
Morning tea/coffee is at any one of the places we ride through each day. At the end of Saturday's ride we have an area booked outside the Villa Noosa Bistro for enjoying a drink and lunch is either at the Villa Noosa or a chance for you to investigate Noosaville. For 6:30pm Dinner Saturday we have a booking at the Villa Noosa Hotel, next to where most will be staying in Noosaville. Breakfast on Sunday will be 'catch your own'.
SUPPORT VEHICLES
With the structure of this tour we do not require support vehicles to carry gear as the rides start/finish at our accommodation, but some supporters have already told me they will meet riders for coffee along the way. CAR PARKING will be at or near your accommodation, depending on whether you are staying for one or two nights (some are also planning to stay Sunday night too).
Look forward to hearing from you soon.
