Clubman Tourers

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.

Please contact us if you are interested in this event.

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.

Clubman business is our goal,
Third Tuesday, Concord Rissole,
But first there are the greetings,
At the Clubman meeting.

Come early to eat if you want,
At the rissole Restaurant,
Or come later for the seating,
Of the Clubman meeting.

President Liz will call to order,
Secretary Luke is the recorder,
Looney’s report is rather fleeting,
To start the Clubman meeting.

Mike will lead the talk on runs,
Of past rides where stories are spun,
But planning rides is the main reason,
To have the Clubman meeting

The Prez will make a banana cake,
Let’s just call it attendee bait,
Then we wind down the proceedings,
Of the Clubman meeting.

So come along and have a say,
Whether yea or neigh or to convey
your opinion, that’s what we’re needing,
At the Clubman meeting.

Where: Concord RSL (near Concord Hospital on Nullawarra Ave (nearest x street is Nirranda)).
When: 7pm for a 7:30 start (or earlier to have dinner), Tuesday 15th March.

Please contact us if you are interested in this event.

Described as the only authentic mexican in Sydney.  OK, self described but it sounds like it's worth checking out and Looney gives the place some pretty good raps.  So come along and catch up with some other clubbers.

Note that it's on a Tuesday as a bunch of people are going away to the supers on the Thursday.

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.

Please contact us if you are interested in this event.

This year’s Easter ride is heading north to Urunga.  Urunga is a nice quiet seaside town with a lovely pub, just south of Coffs.  Staying there for two nights gives a base for nice big loops on twisty roads or lazing around, going for walks along the boardwalk to the ocean, or heading up to Bellingen.  Lots of things to do.  

On the Sunday we’ll head across to Coolah which gives us a number of short and long options for the ride home on Monday avoiding the worst of weekend Easter traffic. 

Please contact us if you are interested in this event.

The where to meet and the what time will be advised later, at the moment it really is a mystery. There will be twisty back roads both  tar & dirt and there will be weather so bring a jumper / swimmers to cover all scenarios.

Please contact us if you are interested in this event.
