The Cootamundra Bicycle Users Group (BUG) welcomes cyclists of all ages and abilities who have a common interest in enjoying social cycling and touring. The main emphasis of the group is to enjoy and promote social riding.
Local cycling routes can be found here.
All riders are most welcome.
Coffee is enjoyed at local coffee shops after each ride for refreshments and good conversation.
Courses and coffee shops are scheduled by our Social Coordinator on the shared club ride calendar, with the weather taken into account on the day.
Times may vary through the seasons. For the most up-to-date group ride times and events, message BUGs via our Facebook Page or Instagram.
Riders may ride at their own pace, however rides are no-drop rides with agreed catch-up points along the way. A tail-end rider with First Aid is identified before each ride.
Social Rides
Various locations in the local district. 10 am start at a pre-determined start point, followed by lunch at a local restaurant. Ride and lunch location decided at General Meetings. Past Social Rides include Stockinbingal, Harden and Coolamon.
Longer rides may be supplied with a support vehicle for rider and bike pickup, depending on availability.
Away weekends
Members travel to a bike-friendly town for a weekend of riding in locations such as Tumbarumba, Yackandandah and Bright, to name a few.
Members also travel away to participate in cycling tours and events.
Events attended recently include the Mudgee Classic, Canola Classic, Monteagle, Bowral Classic and Snowy Valleys Cycle Challenge. Some of our members have travelled as far as South Australia and Queensland for bike touring.
Cootamundra BUG also enjoy joining up with visiting cycling groups riding in the Cootamundra area. If you are visiting Cootamundra, please feel free to message us using Facebook or Instagram.
