You must register NOW if you plan to attend.

WHEN

Held over the coming June long weekend, from 4pm on Saturday June 9 (allowing for family time and/or Church in the morning). We will ride Sunday June 10 and again on Monday June 11 but will be packed up and finished by early afternoon.

WHERE & WHAT

As above, the beautiful Wingello State Forest is located in the Southern Highlands just past Moss Vale and Bundanoon approximately 2 hours drive time if you go via the M7 from Wahroonga. We will provide more detail on the getting there and what you need to bring when you register - but the obvious one is you will need a bike that is in good condition with gears ie. a mountain bike plus a helmet that fits well. So this week dust off the cobwebs from your bike (take them to the bike shop if it needs a service), check your helmet still fits and get ready to become the ‘Pathfinder King or Queen of the Mountain’.

WHO

Please aim to register as soon as you can. We need to put approximate numbers down for attendance in order to get our permit to enter the forest.

Families are welcome to attend however we do not encourage children younger than pathfinder age to ride - they will have their turn when they are old enough for Pathfinders. Children below Pathfinder age may ride with a parent or guardian whom must both ride with their children and take full responsibility for their care and any injuries as they are not covered for insurance purposes and attend at their own risk.

NEED TO KNOW

At Wingello, there will be a base camp with tents. The Club will NOT be catering for this event - meaning breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner is going to be up to the Pathfinders. Having attended family camp and level camps it is now time for our Pathfinders to extend themselves a little further. The club will provide several gas stoves for use and there is always a willing hand for those who need it. At the campground there is a long drop toilet that is serviced everyday.

It is VERY COLD at night…just below zero temperatures were experienced so everyone will need a good quality sleeping bag and warm clothing layers for sleeping at night. We will be able to have a roaring camp fire - BYO marshmallows!!

Our bike camps over the years have been a huge success and talked about for many years. I am sure this one will be no exception. Please contact me on davygoods22@icloud.com or 0481 457 367 if you have any questions.

PEDAL HARD!!
