Towards 2007

It has been quite a year. The BUG has grown to close to 80 members, and for a fairly loose and fledgling group we have managed to achieve quite a bit. Breakfasts, morning tea, lunchtime picnic rides, road safety lobbying, Ride2Work day and our good friends at the PRC have successfully lobbied for more bicycle parking (well done Tim and Liz!). On the agenda for next year is a secure bicycle parking in the Cornish building undercroft (we have verbal support), continue the pressure on Waite/Cross Rd, a bigger better Ride2Work day, group entry to BikeSA events and anything else our members, want. I will be contributing part of my CLW environmental award to continue to grow the BUG, and have some groovy pro-cycling designs that I want to get onto t-shirts.

In the mean time, The Tour Down Under and associated events are coming to town (16th to 21st Jan). Check out www.tourdownunder.com.au for all the latest. For those wanting to participate on two wheels, the Challenge Tour (128 or 84km) is on Friday the 19th and the Fun tour (20km) on Sunday the 21st of Jan. Check out the website for details. Hope to see you at some of the events.

For now, happy and safe holidays to you all, and see you in the new year.
