FRIENDS OF THE TRAIL
WE NEED YOUR HELP.

Several renewable energy projects are under way in the Gulgong/Dunedoo area and there are plans to destroy kilometres of beautiful tree lined quiet country lanes.
Some of these trees are hundreds of years old and are extremely important to our native fauna.
We need to make as much noise as possible before it’s too late.
The CWCT Committee feels there are definate alternatives as the land adjacent to these precious avenues are vacant paddocks owned by the project (Government).
Please help us preserve this dwindling habitate by complaining vigorously to the Minister and letting them know this is not ok when there are alternatives.

The weekend emphasises self-guided cycling, with the CWC and local businesses providing destinations and events to cycle to. The program includes ‘pop up’ cafes in the bush, distillery tastings, local produce being used in the evening meal at the Mendooran Showground, architecture/heritage stroll, insight in the honey industry, a Sunday morning market at Blue Sky Cheese. The key get-together event after your day of self-guided cycling is the “Tastes of Mendooran”, starting at 5pm on Saturday 4 May at the Showground.
In addition to the events that are being organised people are encouraged to enjoy what the small town of Mendooran provides throughout the year; the classic pub or club meal, local produce of cheese, honey, pickles and meats, a surprise package distillery, a rich trove of photographic opportunities created by a diverse architecture, and some great quiet gravel road cycling.
Importantly the weekend is planned so that it caters for cyclists and non-cyclists. All welcome. Organisational focal point will be the Mendooran Showground where there will be maps of cycling routes in the Dunedoo-Mendooran region. These will be uploaded over the coming month to the Maps page of the CWC website for download.

Thanks all for the generous donations for the new signage on the Central West Cycle trail.
This one donated by Fergus Gilbert who has been around the trail in 2 variations with his family.
This particular one is in Wongarbon with its Geurie mate to go opposite, it’s in production as we speak.

The Central West Cycle Trail have recently been granted approval to install finger post signage to all of the entries and exits to towns and villages in the DRC council boundary.
Hopefully when this is completed it will persuade the other 2 councils on the trail to follow suit.
When completed, this will give the trail some presence and make locals and travelers aware that there is a cycle trail in their area.
This group from the Southern Highlands thought it was a worthy cause and had a whip around to sponsor a sign.
This one will go up in Geurie.
It would be greatly appreciated if anyone would like to donate for signage, maybe have a whip around in your group and donate a sign.
Each sign costs $150 and will be installed as we get funds to pay for them.
The committee will be installing them on existing street sign posts.

Pictured are 6 of the 8 riders from the Southern Highlands doing the trail with their purchase of a Wellington sign that will go up in Geurie.

Anniversary ride on the Central West Cycle Trail on a fabulous winters day.
3 years ago was the inaugural recon ride to establish the trail so a group of the original group that made the trail a reality decided to have an anniversary ride.
Along with some riders from Orange and Bike Leichhardt, set off from Gulgong this morning, headed for Dunedoo with a must stop at Mayfield for lunch.
