We will be doing several large loops and covering some of the trails used for the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games. We will meet at 9.30am at the Nerang Velodrome Carpark on Hope Street Nerang. When coming up the M1 take the exit to North Nerang/Surfer's Paradise Exit 69 and turn left down Nerang Connection Road to the Velodrome. It should take you just over an hour to get there from Bangalow as it is a public holiday. Jeff will be leading the mountain bikers and Carmel the walkers, so something for everyone to enjoy. We plan to finish the biking and walking about 1.00pm and have a picnic lunch in the beautiful parklands at the Velodrome. Please bring some lunch and a chair or rug. There are no BBQ's in the parklands. There is a cafe nearby that does sandwiches and coffee if you want to pick something up there.
