Geoff Bensley, Byron Bay.

I want to say that the new shortened bike course allowed East and West Suffolk Park exit and entry while the race was happening, such a fantastic idea.

The road signage and letter box drops was very much appreciated.

On the day I watched the children competing between 11am and midday before heading home to Baywood Chase via Midgen Flat Rd without any problems.

I hope that the race continues as we have many community members who are also in the local cycle club , running club and swimming club competing in the event .

I did notice the Byron Bay Ladies Hospital Auxiliary acting as volunteers in the event also.


Support The Echo

Keeping the community together and the community voice loud and clear is what The Echo is about. More than ever we need your help to keep this voice alive and thriving in the community.

Like all businesses we are struggling to keep food on the table of all our local and hard working journalists, artists, sales, delivery and drudges who keep the news coming out to you both in the newspaper and online. If you can spare a few dollars a week – or maybe more – we would appreciate all the support you are able to give to keep the voice of independent, local journalism alive.

  1. Lucky you. The rest of town was cut off for hours. It’s outrageous. Bikes are great. I ride. But it’s the wrong town for this race. Only route through town cut off for hours.
