With official Waranga Rail Trail opening ceremony occuring on Saturday 17th May, 10am, during the Rushworth Market, there is also a planned ride on the trail for Sunday 18th May.
With the option to start the ride from either Murchison or Rushworth, or any other point and time, depending on your ability, the aim is to meet at Little Bourke Street at 12noon, for a bring your own picnic lunch. Little Bourke Street is approximately 900m to the East of Harriman Road and has a large cleared area adjacent to the rail trail with vehicle access. It is expected that there is a contingent coming from the Bicycle User Group Shepparton (BUGS), so it should be a good gathering.
As there is no water available, be sure to carry your own. The nearest toilets are at Harriman Point, approximately 2kms ride from Little Bourke St. There is no formal finish time for the ride, so feel free to take your time!
For those staying locally on the Saturday Night, a suggestion for dinner is at the Wallenjoe Hotel in Stanhope.
Don’t forget to bring your own lunch, and drinks and the organisers look forward to seeing you over the weekend. Graeme Hanigan
