This is the FOURTH of a series of 6 separate consecutive rides.
Ride 4 – Fri 8 August – Tyalgum loop
Ride 5 – Sat 9 August – Full moon ride + dinner from approx. 5pm.
Free time during the day (suggested day rides available).
Ride 6 – Sun 10 August – Urliup road loop. (Returns early afternoon, so enough time to pack and depart)

This specific ride:
50 klms approx. 3.5 hours plus stops. Depart 9.30 am from KNOX PARK in the heart of Mur'bah. Head out of town on bike paths then west via North Arm Rd (route 34) towards Crystal Creek. Turn left into (unsealed) Chilcotts road (if causeway is passable - NB possibility of WET FEET when crossing causeway. Bring alt. footwear and a towel?) then rejoin route 34 to Chillingham. Could stop for a coffee here if all agree. Continue towards Tyalgum including a few BIG hills, have a breather at the top then LEFT into ZARA Rd (route 36) for descent into Tyalgum.
Have brunch/lunch at Tyalgum. Return by heading east onto Tylagum Road to Murwillumbah via Brays Park.
All on road cycling.. 2x 150 m ascents. Some roads could be busy. Tyalgum road is broader but narrow roads through Chillingham. This is also an established route for local bike riders. A shop at Chillingham and at Crystal Creek, but bring plenty of water.
All the usual stuff - bring a helmet, a bike in good condition with spare tyre tube, tools & pump, sun block. Suit riders comfortable with on road riding. Great scenery along the way.
