Tuggerah - The Entrance

The Ride
April 2009

Janine and Annette embarked on the ride from Tuggerah to the Entrance (& back to Tuggerah), meeting up at Tuggerah train station - braving weather and dodging rain puddles.

Unfortunately this adventure involved a stack... Brave Janine performed what would have to go to the history as THE most elegant bike stack ever! A slow motion wave towards the green strip
beside the foot-path. At the time it was obviously quite distressing, with blood dripping and a pub with front row seats of the action to ramp things up... It is safe to say that Janine's contact with the greenery lasted all of 2 milliseconds, before she was up and ready to push off again.

With wheels back on track, we left Wyong road and found the bike track leading to the Entrance, and the ride turned quite lovely. We did get rained on, but only for a short while, and as Janine had brought not one, but 2 raincoats - we were laughing!

On the way back we deviated from the map slightly (it was meant to be a short-cut, avoiding Wyong Road) but as the creek got wider and the bushes got more imposing, we made a unanimous decision to double-back the way we'd come & avoid getting lost in the Tuggerah bushland.

All up the ride was close to 30 km - hat goes off to Janine for completing it in an injured state :)
