MThere's a dirt and tar option. The tar option will require a volunteer to step up and lead this ride.
Dirt Option
This is a 420km ride to Moonan Cottage at Moonan Brook via Dungog (lunch) and Gloucester (to pick up supplies). From Gloucester there are two options, the more direct route over Barrington Tops, approximately 60km of easy dirt, or the more interesting route to the north through Tomalla. We did this last year and it's about 90km of smaller dirt roads.
Tar Option
Nyree has kindly mapped out a route that will take you all the way to Moonan Flat on the tar, with just a short section of dirt road to the cottage. It's a 390km ride that goes via Wollombi, Broke, Jerrys Plains, Denman for lunch, Merriwa, Scone and Gundy.
This year we are holding the Awards Night as a weekend away – at the Globe Hotel Rylstone, a favourite destination of the Club for several decades. There will be all the usual attractions of the Awards night; sparkling wit, great speeches and the chance to rub shoulders with some of the greats of Clubman Tourers (if they can find their keys).
Please contact us if you are interested in this event.
