Three Tour de Central Coast rides involve Woy Woy

The Central Coast Bicycle User Group is holding three "Tour de Central Coast" events involving Woy Woy in two weeks, to coincide with the Tour de France.

Yesterday (Sunday, July 7), the group held a five-hour 95km ride from Woy Woy to Pie in the Sky cafe at Cowan and return.

On Sunday, July 14, the group will hold a three-hour 45km ride from Woy Woy, looping around Brisbane Water, to finish back at Woy Woy.

On Saturday, July 20, the group will hold a two-hour 25km ride from Gosford to Woy Woy and return.

The ride to Cowan last Sunday was described as a moderate-paced ride from Woy Woy to Pie in the Sky cafe and back, through the picturesque Brisbane Water National Park and over the Hawkesbury River.

"Designed for more experienced riders, we mostly utilise the old Pacific Hwy and include five longish climbs (Kariong, Mooney-Calga, PiTS, MtWhite and Mooney-Somersby) - nothing too steep, but you certainly know you've been up a few hills by the time you get home," said ride leader Mr Alan Corven.

The Brisbane Water Loop ride next Sunday, July 14, starts at Fishermen's Wharf at 8am.

It is described as "a relaxed paced ride around Brisbane Water, starting and ending at Woy Woy.

"This ride is perfect for those stepping up from easier rides, like the Woy Woy to Gosford Boomerang ride or other easy and easy-medium graded rides.

"Mostly on road shoulders and shared paths, with some normal traffic roads, so you need to be comfortable cycling on the road with some passing traffic.

"Ride pace will be slower on the shared path sections, picking up on the road sections.

"A few very short hills, but we avoid the steepest and narrowest ones.

"Coffee is at Gosford or somewhere else if a better option is suggested."

For further information, call Alan on 0414 538 977.

The Gosford to Woy Woy Boomerang ride on Saturday, July 20, is described as "an easy ride along the shared path to Woy Woy and back - about 25kms in total".

For further information, call Graham on 0481 467 867.
