In the face of pending oil scarcity and climatic change, we are starting to recognise that our current patterns of mobility cannot be sustained in the long term [GGGL, Go Green Get Lean, ANU Cycle Challenge, GGGL Cycling, Slimmer Waistlines, Lighter Footprints] and will have to change.

Don’t miss the Tour de Cotter (mountain bike tour) this Saturday 20 October, 9:00am to 12:00noon

“…the views and wildflowers are truly spectacular”

The following notice is from Haydn Brugess from Greening Australia ACT:

There is still time to register for tomorrow’s mountain bike tour of the Lower Cotter Catchment. I drove the route yesterday and the views and wildflowers are truly spectacular. It is a moderate ride, with plenty of flat sections and just the occasional climb. Promise! Now is the time to check out the Lower Cotter Catchment and see and hear why it is such a special place. Refreshments will be available.

What to bring/wear? Mountain bike, bike helmet, protective gear, puncture kit, water bottle and a reasonable level of fitness. The ride is along fire trails that are open to the public.

Where to meet? Drive out on the Cotter Rd, cross the Murrumbidgee, turn right into Brindabella Road, drive to the intersection with Uriarra Road (about 7km), turn left, then drive for 2.6km. The start point will be on your left. Look for GA directional signs.
