Wheelie good time
EIGHTY-five people and hundreds of wheels rolled along the Promenade for the first-ever Warrnambool Wheelie Convoy this week.
There were plenty of wheels rolling along the promenade for the first-ever Warrnambool Wheelie Convoy on Wednesday morning, and nine year-old Nova was keen to take part. Photo courtesy Warrnambool City Council.
Wednesday morning’s event encouraged people who use wheelchairs, mobility scooters, wheeled walkers and rode trikes to get active while enjoying the accessible footpath network linking the foreshore to Lake Pertobe.
“What a superb day for a wonderful new event for Warrnambool,” mayor Cr Ben Blain said.
“Thanks to everyone for showing up, participating and creating a great atmosphere for Warrnambool’s inaugural Wheelie Convoy.
“Let’s do it all again next year. There’s a world record for the number of people participating in a wheelie convoy – perhaps we could give that a shake?”
Following the convoy, participants enjoyed a free barbecue lunch at Lake Pertobe.
