East Side Till We Die (The Sydney & NSW Ride Thread)

[ozzieboy]

Ah well. You win some, you lose some. I'm still planning to make it up to Lake Awoonga with bike and kayak at some point for a more substantial trip, but it'll be a while before that one happens.:thumbup:

 

[ozzieboy]

Thought I'd slap up some pics from the inaugural NSW ride:rockon: and some of the last pics of my bike intact.

If your heading armidale way then thunderbolts way (i think its called) has some nice roads although up through the mountains on the really steep and windy stuff the road is absolute rubbish. By this I mean that on every bend and corner, on the exact part of road you need to be to take the corner at any speed there is either - large potholes, rocks/debris, idiots in 4wd's on the wrong side of the road.
Out of the mountain its alot more fun and you can really open up, well if your feeling lucky.

any sydney siders going for a ride tomorrow?
and can anyone confirm the road warriors cafe has reopened?

 

[Kriswithak]

Sadly I'm working one job tomorrow morning, and the another tomorrow afternoon/night so no ride for me

yes road warriors is re opened.
tho I dont particually enjoy rideing on HEAVILY policed roads with 60kmh speed limits, when it used to be 110... especially on weekends..

Plus, its to short.

Also tho. the Northen end of the Old Pac has been reopened with a glorious and confident inspiring hotmix all over it.
Gets alot of traffic tho.

Sun 6th Sep.
Sydney people, we are going for a ride.

Thoughts? (i.e. from where to where via?)

 

[dantow]

hope this works.
it didn't

 

[dantow]

bollocks sorry about the last one. this is a rough route suggestion fromrinces Hwy & Farnell Ave, NSW 2233 to:Sir Bertram Stevens Dr totford nsw to:coledale nsw to:albion park nsw to:Illawarra Hwy & Jamberoo Mountain Rd, Robertson NSW 2577 to:kiama nsw to:berry nsw to:kangaroo valley nsw to:robertson nsw to:wilto

 

[b3nje909]

this looks good.

is pretty much identical to what I was going to suggest lol (except out picton way)

 

[Nobby]

Look's good to me,but I'll probably drop off around the "J" route marker & head home from there.

 

[dantow]

Anyone ever done the kings hwy (batemans bay to canberra)?

 

[MattyA]

I will make it my duty to meet up woith you guys next time im in NSW with my bike.

 

[addy]

I'm in! I have the 6th free. well now i don't, because i'm going for a ride.

Yep, smooth surface, fast and long corners in some sections, but fun bits are rather short in length. Lots of traffic and highway patrol on the weekend, and slow trucks during the week.

A 12 hours day trip from Sydney is certainly doable. IMO Oxley Hwy is a much more rewarding run.

 

[dantow]

where is the oxley? you coming for this ride on the 6th?
