Tuggerah Lake Loop Cycle 52kms

On this Aussie Explorers event we shall cycle the whole way around Tuggerah Lake and will visit Norah Head Lighthouse. Most of this path is on dedicated cycling paths.

The plan is to meet at Tuggerah Station commuter carpark at 9.05AM on Sunday 15 June. You can drive all the way to the carpark or you can take your bike on the 6.48AM or 7.21AM train from Central, the latter arriving at Tuggerah Station at 8.58AM. Toilets are available on the station platforms. We will have a brief introduction and safety briefing before commencing the ride. We then follow a few of the backroads to Chittaway Bay before starting on the dedicated cycleway which traverses Berkeley Vale, Killarney Vale and Long Jetty. After 14kms we come to The Entrance where there is the chance for a toilet and coffee stop.

Onwards, we join Wilfred Barrett Drive and cross the Entrance Chanel and join the cycleway which follows Tuggerah Lake and passes through rainforest inside Wyrrabalong National Park. 14kms from The Entrance we reach the beautiful Norah Head Lighthouse where we can again take a toilet and lunch break.

From Norah Head we ride into Toukley, cross the bridge then pass through Gorokan, Wyongah and Wyong before arriving back at Tuggerah Station where our ride ends.

Re Ride and Road Conditions. The ride will be on a mixture of roads and cycleways. All roads have a wide shoulder but please exercise caution. I will take a walkie talkie to communicate with a tail-end Charlie. The ride is also exceptionally flat.

Safety, I will carry a first aid kit and walkie talkies. I will also advise of required stops along the way.

Gratuity: There will be a $10 gratuity payable via PayID 0439543695 or in cash.
