Exsight Tandems Illawarra

See Maria’s link to her great cycle challenge fundraiser for kids cancer. Somehow we all missed this and she has only received 2 donations. It would be nice if Exsight supports one of our own.

See this advertisement if you’re interested in getting a good tandem. Exsight got a message from the owner Sharon so I said that I would pass it on.

I couldn’t get the link to facebook marketplace to work so here’s some screenshots. Go to marketplace and search Cannondale T1000 in Sydney

Another good Exsight outing on a sunny winter’s morning.

Three Exsight tandems and two solos took part in the Ride for Rotary event today. It was a nippy and windy day but a bit of good fun.
Maria rode with Warren, Annie with Tim and Geoff with Joe. Maria’s friend Joanne rode solo and I rode the recumbent as usual.
We did half a dozen or more laps of the lighthouse circuit and with the ride there and home we each did 30-40km I think.
Our team raised $709 so far and the organisers said the total raised is over $40,000 for Southern Youth and Family Services.
Well done all.

Friend Shona in Edinburgh with their newly formed tandem group. 👍👍👍

🚴‍♂️ Our First Group Ride! 🚴‍♀️

On Sunday morning, we set off on our first group ride from Queen Margaret University to Longniddry Bents. It may have been misty and chilly, but that didn’t dampen our spirits—we had a fantastic time on the tandems!

Joining the ride were two of our new pilots and a new stoker, alongside Shona, Dougie, and Ian from the team. We were on three bikes, which included an Orbit and a Circe, both kindly loaned by Cycling UK East Lothian —amazing bikes that are a joy to ride!

After covering 30km in the saddle, we wrapped up with a well-earned coffee back at Maggie's Café, with plenty of smiles all around. 😃☕🫖

If you haven't already let us know your availability for our next planned rides or wish to enquire about cycling with us, please get in touch.
