Below is an extract from bi-mthly Push On Mag for Feb/Mar:

“Date: Sat. 9 March and Sunday 10 March – Loop the Lake weekend

Rides: Sat. 60km from Warners Bay at 1pm.  Sun. 85km Loop the Lake from Speers Point at 8am.

Grade: H  Group: Bike North.  Contact: Phil Johnston 9312.3319 for B&B, restaurante  for Sat evening.

12 months ago about 8 Muggs linked up with other Bike North members at a restauranté in Warners Bay on the Sat evening.  We cycled a leisurely 55km on the Sat. arvo and 85km Loop the Lake on the Sunday morn', before driving home well satisfied.

Unlike last year, when booking digs was easy, there is a surf carnival (State titles) at nearby Blacksmiths Beach. All the lodgings near the beaches are chockers, but Bank Teller has booked 3 @ twin rooms at 

Wangi Hotel Motel, Watkins Rd, Wangi Wangi  (02) 4975.1411 @ $40 per room ($20 each - "cheap as chips").  Wangi is 11km off the Freeway after taking the Morisset off-ramp.  Widget 'n Oakley have ear-marked one.  PJ and Whippet have another, and Whiz has just grabbed the final one.
