day ride

It's time for another maintenance day. A well equipped garage available for all to use, if you want to do some work on your bike, just a wash and clean, a service or something more, this is the chance to take it on as there'll be plenty of expertise on hand. Pop round even just to say Hi and we'll get some sausages to BBQ for lunch.

Please contact us if you are interested in this event.

The Boree Log is not far away and we need your help to prepare the site and do a couple of odd jobs for Eve and Cedric  in thanks for yet another loan of their paddock.

- The bonfire is particularly big this year with large logs so it should make for a great fire.  We'll need to do the usual cleaning up around the edges and throwing them on the top.

- There's a couple of small trees we'll need to chop up and throw on.

A short day ride down to Burrawang for lunch.  Burrawang is a small town near Robertson just off the Illawarra Hwy with a nice pub and a nice cafe, one of which will supply the food for some hungry clubbies on this day.  The plan is to head down via Macquarie Pass and back via some of the backroads behind Mittagong.

Or maybe it should be called; Go to Bell ride or A Bell of a ride or Give em Bell, Going Bell for Leather (and Cordura)... OK, you get the gist.

So the final evening ride of the year, for those slow on the uptake, is going to Bell,  Meeting at McGraphs Hill and up the Bells line to Bell, turning around and back down to have dinner at Kurrajong Heights Pub for dinner.  Now called the Archibald Hotel it's apparantly had a reno late last year and is much improved.  (Waiting for the Clubman locals for confirmation, or alternative.)

There should be plenty of light to get back to Mt Tomah before dark so come along for the last chance before the nights get too long.

Please contact us if you are interested in this event.

Heading up the Bells Line, the plan is to stop at Rylestone for a coffee, then winding through the lovely Bylong Valley full of horse studs and gorgeous sandstone cliffs stopping at Denman Pub for lunch. then the back way to Jerrys Plains and either down the Putty or through Wollombi depending on how people feel.

A decent day ride, about 530kay in all. Come along, Timmsy has ordered perfect weather.

Terry is leading a day ride to Neville on the other side of Oberon for some Triumph riding friends and he'd like to throw it open to the club as well.

One of the group is keen for a bit of a dirt ride so we're going to Neville for lunch. It's the other side of Oberon so we'll being going via Burraga and then along Bald Ridge Rd near Trunkey passing over Mt Gray. The dirt section is quite doable on a road bike SO LONG AS ITS NOT WET. It offers some spectacular views however if it's wet we'll give it a miss and go to the pub at Rockley instead.

Don't be put off by the dirt road section, it's very easy.  You don't have to be on a Triumph either - if it's got 2 wheels and an engine you're welcome.

Please contact us if you are interested in this event.

The old favourtie - the Wollombi day loop. Meeting at McGrath's, up the Putty to Wollombi and home on via the Old Road.  Lunch venue tba.

Note! This is on Wednesday.

An evening ride to Paradise Cafe at Lower Portland for dinner.  On Wednesday they're open late, and serve pizza, steak, pasta, prawns etc in a nice setting overlooking the Hawkesbury River.  It's open for ordering until 8pm but best get there by 7:30 to make sure we have plenty of time and to enjoy dusk on the river, and so we have an earlier leave time.  The route will take us along some great back roads with some nice views of the Hawkesbury along the way.

We have to book so please respond if you want ot come.

We'll be heading off from Berowra and so I've moved the leave time forward 30mins from the usual evening ride.  If anyone can't quite make that then we can meet along the way, The interesection of Catai Ridge Rd and Old Nothern Road. 

Please contact us if you are interested in this event.

 This is a last minute plan for a mid-week day ride.

Meeting at McGrath’s Hill, then riding Bell's Line through to Black Springs to Taralga for lunch and then loop around through the Southern Highlands home.

A breakfast run down to the Cliffhanger Cafe, perched on the escarpment at Bulli.  The food was great the last time I was there 5 years ago, about 1 hour before losing my licence when heading home through the national park.  And so this time I think I'll try heading south, down Mt Kiera, backway through Dapto, up Maquarie Pass and the backway through to Mittagong finishing with a detour into Avon Dam.
