Organised by the Rotary Club of Warners Bay, Loop The Lake is assisted by Traffic
Police, CREST Communications Volunteers and St. John Ambulance.
Route Marshals are provided by the Lake Macquarie Rotary Clubs of Morisset, Toronto,
Toronto Sunrise, Cardiff, Belmont, Bennetts Green and Warners Bay.
Motor Cycle Marshals : Loop the Lake Bicycle Challenge is in its 15th year. For most
of those years, Alan Craig and Brad Woodhouse of B & C Motorcycles, Boolaroo,
have provided three motorcycle marshals to give mobile support to cyclists as they
traverse the narrower sections of the road around the lake, such as Rutleys Road and
the bends near Valentine and Eleebana. On these sections of road, a four wheeled
vehicle is often more of a nuisance than a help, while the motor cycle can cruise near
the cyclists, offering advice, admonition or support without the threat of a ton of metal.
The motor cyclists can also shield cyclists from impatient drivers more easily, without creating too much angst.
We thank our powered friends for their consistent support since inception of Loop the Lake.
We also provide:
- A Ride Guide for Earlybird entries.
- A numbered Ride Bib.
- A Certificate of Achievement.
- Morning Tea at Morisset.
- Fruit Stop at Belmont South.
- Light lunch at the Finish.
- Free entry to the Swimming Pool after the ride.
- Rest stops for water.
- Volunteer Route Marshals.
- Bike mechanics on the route.
Cyclists should be aware that Loop The Lake is graded as a medium to hard event and is ‘on road’.
Rain or shine, we ride!
It is expected that cyclists will abide by the road rules and ride with care and consideration of others.
Children under 12 years must be registered and be accompanied by a registered adult rider.
The cycle path from Eleebana to Speers Point Park can be used if you wish.
Entrants with two-wheeled trailers will not be accepted due to safety concerns.
