Sand & Swamp Bike Ride
MUST READ!!!
The history of the Sand and Swamp goes back to 1985 when we held the first ride. 24 years later the ride still attracts great interest and riders from far and wide enjoy the event. Two aspects ensuring the continuation of the S and S are great riding and the strong camaraderie as mates enjoy the challenge of the ride and the chance to spend time together.
The members of the T.A.C enjoy hosting the event and it is a great fundraiser for our small community with the financial benefits felt by many organisations that receive donations from our club.
However it is becoming increasingly difficult to have access to the areas we ride in, particularly road side reserves. In the great spirit of the ride and its history we implore all riders who have ever participated in our event to respect our tracks by not returning through the year to ride tracks with which they become familiar.
These tracks in our fragile environment need resting to allow revegetation!
We plan our rides to allow this to happen and it essential, if the ride is to continue, that we look after our tracks. We have great support from land holders, local council and local services (police and ambos) but it is clear that if these tracks aren't rested permission to continue will not be forth coming!
It is illegal to access the road reserve with out permission from local council!.
If you are riding off the road in our council area you are breaking the law and hindering the future of our ride. Council workers, land holders and local police have been informed to report any such riding and action will be taken in the future!
We hope to be hosting our event for many years to come but we need your cooperation.
