2011 Coffs Coast Cycle Challenge event

A brief selection of riders in the 2011 event comments:

The route was outstanding this year – if I was a Coffs local I would adopt that as a regular – it was magic – Thank you

It was not in Sydney!! but the scenery and atmosphere throughout the ride was sensational – I had three punctures and every time other cyclists stopped and helped me out to get me back in the game. – A great day

The people! The volunteers were all extremely cheerful helpful people. The riders were fun to be amongst. Organization was of a very high caliber and the success is obviously due to many many hours of hard work.

Good organization of volunteers on the road with route directions. I tried to thank as many as possible and would like to extend thanks to them all. You should be proud of what you have achieved in organisation in only 2 years.

It reminded me of how Fun Runs were back in the ’70s & ’80s. In fact I said to my son who rode with me that it was the bike equivalent of the City to Surf in that it was hugely enjoyable but bloody tough! All the participants appeared to have the same aim – to enjoy & complete the ride

Course was good, Marshalls were great, AID stations were well placed Presentation was short and sweet, Ride lengths – there was something for everyone which was good

Well organised, beautiful day, picturesque ride, friendly atmosphere, great fun. Thank you.

Everyone having fun and not focusing on a race. it was there for you if you wanted, but wasn’t compulsory.

It was a great day and I thought a great course. Your people were very helpful and friendly as an out of town person.

It was a fun ride for everyone …if you were serious rider you could be …you didn’t feel pressured you could ride at your own level It was social.. meeting people along the way… everyone was encouraging and you could have a laugh…. best medicine in the world Fantastic Day !!!

The lead cars at the beginning were great. Also knowing that there were other support cars along the course was great security and peace of mind too. The signs that were along the course were brilliant! I laughed every time I saw one and that sort of relief is fantastic!

The riders from Sydney and Queensland in my group enjoyed the rides scenery and the challenge of the undulating hills, they will definitely be back next year.

I thought it was a very well organised event, and loved that so many people took part. Cycling is a very social sport, and it really showed that during the event.

Fantastic Course and friendly attitude/manner of all involved, organisers and riders alike.

The challenge, it was a great atmosphere out there on those hills everyone encouraging you. All the volunteers did a tremendous job,it was a great day.

2010 Coffs Coast Cycle Challenge event

  • Just wanted to congratulate all involved yesterday in organising a great event. We thoroughly enjoyed the ride and hope to be involved in 2011 – DR

  • Just a short note to say how much I enjoyed doing the 75ks in Sundays Cycle Challenge. It was a personal best for me as I had never attempted anything like that since my 18 months of riding. I learnt what I am capable of.  Also a good friend who does competitive riding only beat me in by six minutes!….  I felt good, in fact I still do so thanks for the experience. – BG
