ORANGE BUG NEWS - June 2021

Hi there and welcome to the first Orange BUG Newsletter!
 
What is the Orange BUG?
Orange BUG (Bicycle User Group) is passionate about getting the community cycling for fun, fitness and social interaction. Orange BUG is a voluntary group which runs free bike rides for members and the public at varying distances and pace, suitable for all levels including beginners. We are an incorporated association affiliated with Bicycle NSW, the peak community cycling advocacy body in NSW.

What has been happening? 
In September 2020 the Orange BUG was relaunched and has since hosted  22 rides including mountain bike trails, rides celebrating local history, rides exploring our surrounding villages and supporting local businesses!!!
 
We have created a website, a Facebook Page to manage rides, and now this Newsletter!  
We are looking to grow our ride offerings and also to advocate for cycling participation, improved infrastructure and cycling tourism opportunities. Read on to find out our next events and latest activities.
