Prospect canal cycleway BUG

[John Farrell]

Hello!

i am looking to form a bicycle user group to cycle the popular new ever growing prospect canal
cycleway, my idea of this groups purpose is to enjoy cycle rides on various networks joining the
canalway, with planned lunch/picnic stops.

Thr last leg from Gipps rd to Prospect reservoir, is mostly finished & supposed to be open soon!!

Possible canalway cycle treks:

Homebush Bay- Prospect Reservoir Prospect reservoir-Liverpool (via transitway cycleway) Guildford
-Liverpool-Prospect

many other possible cycle routes are easily navigated, in this growing cycle network.

Hoping to hear from interested people looking to explore this cool new cyceway.

I'd checkout CAMWest (Cycle Action Movement - Western Sydney) at http://camwest.pps.com.au/ and pool
resources. They are running their annual Bay to mountains ride on September 21 and it will pick up
some of the paths you write about.

cheers
