Western Sydney Cycling Network

This volunteer organisation holds community rides on the first Sunday of every month. Team Crummy went along to their community ride for September, to see what all the fuss was about.
Based out of Fairfield Showground these guys and girls like a bike or to. They repair old bikes and lend them out to the community, many of them are accredited cycling coaches which skills they use at schools around the district. Cycling as a school sport, it could be catching on.
This enthusiastic team, on the first Sunday of the month, runs organised rides around the shared cycle ways of Western Sydney. For our ride we left the showground and headed around to Prospect Dam following the large network of cycle ways. From Prospect Dam it was onto the old water supply pipeline that had been now converted to a shared cycle way heading east. We turned right onto the Cumberland Highway and after a few clicks were back onto the designated network. It was from here we joined up to the route we took from the showground but heading back instead.
It was smooth and mostly flat ride. I highly suggest these rides for families, new cyclists and those that like a very casual “bunch ride”. The team from Western Sydney Cycling Network lead, rove and follow the loose bunch and ensure everybody enjoys the ride. Everyone is welcome to join in the community ride, no matter what type of bicycle you ride. These rides are highly achievable and have an added bonus of a BBQ snag free at the end.
