Yes there are heaps of them
Call up Lake Macquarie Council's website..(find it under google) and there are quite a few maps. Toronto -Fassifern is one I use each day .. only around 4km long also Marmong Point to Warners Bay and eleebana is a good one but busy with pedestrians at weekend. And don't forgert the newly opened Fernleigh Track which is part of the Adamstown Belmont proposal. In Newcastle there is the East-West.. Throsby Creek, University cycleways etc etc. Also, contact the Newcastle cycleways Movement on 4944 7869 and Don will tell you more. Or again look up the NCM website... it also has a list of weekend rides in the area which might be helpful. -- Drop Dead if you want to reply personally Terry Collins wrote in message ...

I'm in Morisset... well not *in* Morisset, I live at Morisset (that's a regional joke if you don't get it: Morisset has a big, err, hospital for the mentally challenged, criminally so) Anyway... Lake Mac. Council believes bicycles are for kids only, so the whole bikepath network is a bit UTS. That said there's some excellent work done on the Fernleigh track, and if you don't mind dodging pedestrians the bit along the lake near Warners Bay. There is some more path over near Toronto, but i don't know the route. If you wanna find out more maybe go for a few rides with the Newcastle Cycleways Movement. Actually I think the ride this weekend (03-AUG-2003) is a very easy one from (foggy memory) Fassifern to Bolton Pt. with a free BBQ. Might be on this one ourselves. They're a fairly friendly bunch, we occasionally go on the rides, but haven't been for a few weeks. IMHO the rides up around Maitland are definately worth the drive, especially the ones out around Morpeth. If you go into and bike shop, they will almost certainly have the ride calendar and contact details. I don't really know about the cycleways around Newcastle, although the club ride the other week went along throsby creek down to the foreshore. cheers, -kt |

the drive, especially the ones out around Morpeth. Real shame that it isn't as easy to catch the trains these days to Maitland. It was so much easier to get to Maitland from Sydney and points north for a large group ride in the 80's. -- Terry Collins {:-)}}} email: terryc at woa.com.au www: http://www.woa.com.au Wombat Outdoor Adventures Bicycles, Computers, GIS, Printing, Publishing "People without trees are like fish without clean water" |
