Hi all,

Arrangements and preparation for this years’ Covid bike tour – “Tour de Surf Coast” are progressing really well.

We had a really successful first training session on Monday afternoon. Well done everyone! We had 52 of our 62 participants and I had received direct communication from the 10 students who couldn't make it. (mostly seniors in exams) All our newbies (staff and students) rode really well; in control, using all the calls, formations and tips we have shared. We've got a few little bike issues to work through - (spokes, punctures and a broken rear derailleur) but everyone is basically equipped and ready to go.

By now everyone should have tents (with tent buddies), riding gear (gloves, helmet, jacket sunnies) , and other camping stuff out ready to pack.

We have our second training session on Wednesday afternoon, with the tour starting Monday 30th November.

We have one slight change to the camping locations with Tuesday night heading to Ocean Grove River View Park rather than Barwon Heads.

We are also thrilled to have the generous support of “Team Taylor” again this year. Providing T-shirts and additional funds to take the pressure off families and the school for this year's tour.

Super excited to be heading out for tour in a year we thought was a complete write off!

See you at school first thing Monday.
