Award to bush biker
A group of local bike riders has recognised one of its members for their endless service to the Peninsula community with a special award of appreciation.
The Mad Dog Bush Bikers club has presented Woy Woy resident Mr Bill Heber with an award of recognition.
Fellow rider Mr John Greenway of Pearl Beach said the fit and energetic Mr Heber has been organising bike rides for seniors in the area for the past five years.
"Every Monday, Bill takes them on a planned ride through the fire trails of the Central Coast," Mr Greenway said.
"He has also taken riders on trips up to Newcastle and Cessnock.
"If this is not enough, he has been a member of the Tea and Coffee Kayakers group for 10 years, a group of mostly seniors that set off from Lions Park in Woy Woy every Thursday at 9.30am to paddle across the scenic Brisbane Water.
"Bill had also been involved for more years than he can remember with the Umina Surf Life Saving Club.
"His motto should be an example to all: Keep fit, keep young."
