The Weekend Ride – Canberra to Bathurst return

May 27, 2010 By Chris Mundy Leave a Comment

Hi,

We just had a fantastic weekend ride!  The weather was cold, the team were eager, the food was good and it was so much fun!

Day 1

  • Canberra to Bungendore: meet at 7.45am, every one was on time, 2 deg C. Thankfully the new handgrip warmers installed OK the night before.
  • Bungendore to Goulburn: (breakfast and coffee at the Paragon Cafe)
  • Goulburn to Oberon: great riding, things had warmed up, stopped at Abercrombie river to enjoy and contribute in nature
  • Oberon to Jenolan Caves: Watch out for the wildlife, watch out for the Moss, time for some lunch.
  • Jenolan Caves to Mt Victoria: Great countryside, a stop for fuel for Phil at Mount Victoria,
  • Mt Victoria to Bathurst: Down to Lithgow, across to Tarana, O’Connell and through to Bathurst, time to get in a lap around Mt Panorama and dinner at the RSL Club.

  • Breakfast and Mount Panorama race circuit (several laps  some video and photos)
  • Bathurst to Blayney: time for some fuel
  • Blayney to Woodstock: Great highway riding, Australian style, stretched the legs on the big fella
  • Woodstock to Wyangala Dam: Time to see where the water mark came to in the 80’s and 90’s, interesting road,
  • Wyangala Dam to Boorowa:  A few roos and some nesting emus make the ride more interesting
  • Boorowa to Canberra: A bite of lunch at the bakery then head for home.
