Out West Again

**Out West Again** This is a 298 kms scenic five day ride mainly on paved country roads with 90 kms of gravel starting on 26 October, 2026 This is a ride for **experienced club members** who enjoy rural areas and a little adventure. You need to book your own accommodation as soon as possible. As unexpected delays on the road are possible you need to carry a minimum two litres of water and lunch for each segment. No coffee stops just a picnic or three! Unless I can find a driver we will have to carry all our own luggage so pack like a squirrel. *Any friends interested in being a luggage driver and tourist while we ride?* Day 1: You get yourself to Eugowra by 10.30 AM on 26/10 and cycle 48 kms to Parkes. Perhaps stay at Bushman’s. I will drive up Sunday afternoon. Cars will be parked near the Eugowra Cafe for free over the week. We have done this before without incident. Arrive Parkes by bike in the evening. Day 2: Cycle 48 kms Parkes to Forbes and explore. Perhaps stay at the Ben Hall Motel. Day 3: Early start to cover 68 kms to Grenfell via paved road staying at Grenfell Hall. Mainly flat with plenty of rest stops. Day 4: Ride the 75 kms to Canowindra, perhaps staying at Eddy’s. Plenty of rest stops over the 6 hours of riding. Quite flat! The road is mainly sealed and we might get coffee at Gooloogong. Day 5: 30 October, an early start. The final day we ride 59 kms back to Eugowra, **all unpaved** for 6 hours of riding. Collect your car and drive the main road back to Canowindra (34 kms) and spend the night as there is no accommodation at Eugowra or drive to Sydney (not recommended).

This is a chance to get the attention of NSW parliamentarians in the run up to the state election in March 2027. At the Hospital Rd (Domain) side of Parliament House, after a photo session, we will welcomed inside to speak with the Parliamentary Friends of Active Transport and the member for Balmain Kobi Shetty. Morning tea is included! It's an excellent opportunity to communicate directly to decision makers and help convince them of the need for more funding and favourable outcomes for travelling by bike. The Balmain Bike Bus, organised by the Sustainable Transport Group of Climate Change Balmain Rozelle, invite us to join them for this special ride. We will also be joined at Macquarie St by Bicycle NSW. This is a great way to get our voices heard to champion cycling, walking and other forms of sustainable transport.
