Following on from the success of the NAB Coffs Coast Cycle Challenge
in August 2012 Coffs City Rotary resolved to formally initiate an
annual Coffs Coast Festival of Cycling in 2013.
 
This year's Festival will run over the period from Friday 26 July to
Sunday 11 August. Subsequent Festivals will generally be over the same
period each year thereafter. That is a period of a little over 2 weeks
concluding on the second Sunday in August.
 
A full list of the cycling events so far on this year's Festival
calendar appears on the Festival website
www.coffscoastfestivalofcycling.com  You will there see among other
events that the BMX Club is hosting racing on Fridays 26 July, 2 and 9
August and the MTB Club will hold its very popular Pleasure and Pain
mountain bike enduro on Sunday 11 August.
 
We are liaising with the Coffs Harbour Cycle Club to promote a
significant road race and hopefully a criterium, (and maybe a short
'tour') during the Festival. If you have any ideas on how we can best
serve the wants and needs of cyclists and their supporters through the
Festival we want to hear them.
 
For key stakeholders in the Coffs Coast Cycle industry and
particularly retailers we have just commenced free advertising on the
Festival website. If you have an interest in taking up that offer
please likewise make contact with any of the persons whose contact
details are:
