This year's ACTRA cycle rogaine will be taking advantage of recent rain and the full dam at Googong Foreshores, 10 mins from Queanbeyan, and will include the option of kayak travel as well as the traditional Mountain bike/foot combination. Bikes and kayaks are NOT compulsory. It will be a real choose your own adventure - spend up to 6 hours paddling, riding, walking, running, sightseeing, picnicking or however you like, then enjoy a great feed post-event at the finish, all included!
There is plenty to keep everyone busy no matter which combination you choose - the more ambitious mountain bikers or runners can even do a lap of the whole dam! There's also plenty of options for families and recreational teams to have a fun day closer to the Hash House.
Any type of kayak is welcome but please note that the dam can get windy so please make sure you are be confident in your boat.
The bush is beautiful dry open eucalypt with not much undergrowth. Parts of the course are open paddocks with scattered young trees. Come prepared to go up and down a hill or two as well! It's not easy to avoid them at Googong. There are also some spectacular gorges and rocky ravines, lots of wildlife - kangaroos, wombats, eagles and more.
Julie and David (setters) would appreciate you entering before this Thursday when late entry fees kick in. It helps us out with logistics for the Hash House site and catering.
