Proposed ride before ‘the ride’ – ride
Proposing a ‘short’ ride before the big ride up north to my sister’s farm-stay.
Leaving Monday 11th Jan – about a 4 hour ride (if you go straight there – longer if we want) to stay o/nite & return back to Coast on Tuesday 12th. We can go either Golden Hwy to Merriwa or New England Hwy to Willow Tree – both ways enjoyable.

Please note – there is a section of graded dirt road to get to the farm-stay. About 18kms of it from the Merriwa end – less from the Willow Tree end – nothing atrocious (I did it w/out drama on my BMW R100Rt) & you don’t need a GS either, though, be prepared for your bike to get dirty/muddy depending on weather.
There will be no other guests on the night so we’ll have the place to ourselves, pool if hot – just need to know confirmed numbers early so they can buy in food & booze for us (we wont have to bring anything) – we can choose to BBQ ourselves or they will cook dinner/breakfast – we’ll be staying in the bunkhouse. Once I know numbers I can confirm costs (my sister assures me that she’ll do a ‘deal’ for Nige MC). Hope you can join Nige & myself!
Sounds good to me,
Not sure about barbecuing myself.
Tried that years ago and it really hurt!!!!!!!!!!
Apart from that count me in, unless bucketing down.
There’s little else I’d be liken to do, but due to financial constraints, if I went on the ride before the ride, I would’nt be able to go on the ride, if some good minded person with money, can subsidise my lost income for the two days (I’m not proud) I’m there. It looks like a great place, except the church looked a tad small if we all wanted to attend services together. Sideways Trailer
