Proposal for Holiday Ride into Vic
I am looking at conducting a gentlemen’s ride to parts not usually traversed by Niges. This event would be staged in the first week of the next school holidays. Mon 15th April – Thur 18th inclusive. Could head off on the Sunday if said action is preferable. Past Goulburn 1st night possibly Tarago ($40 incl bkfst). 522 -550km
Next day though to Bega and inland to Delegate. Bonang Rd to Orbost is a corker, but has some dirt. There is an alternative. Then River rd to Buchan for one coldie then to 2nd night at Nowa Nowa ($75 rm or $15 p.p in bunkhouse). 560km
Day 3 and its off up the Great Alpine Rd to Omeo, Falls Ck, Tallangatta, Tumbarumba and Gundagai. 560km
Day 4 and home via options: Boorowa, Frogmore, Woodstock, home 560km max
Giving plenty of notice so that entries in dance cards can be pencilled, calendars can be marked, favours can be registered.
Some iconic roads in this one. Let me know if interested. I will follow up with accommodation research.
Hands Up so far: Lucky, Sideways, Mohawk, Scrounger and DD. All thorough gentlemen. There is still time to book your ticket.
A gentleman’s ride Huzzah!!! I look forward to a sweet sherry in the high country. I shall bring my finest stallion.
I am working on a quest appearance of ‘The Sloth”. Not to be missed. Sloth is an Iron Butt style rider…. brain is located in rectum, so should fit right in with the Niges.
Thanks Mohawk, I’m keen particularly as there will be no cads invited on this “gentlemen’s ride”. I wouldn’t be able to go earlier than the Monday and find that the Ducati (or me?) doesn’t take to dirt very well – how many km’s of dirt are included?
Scounger, great to have you on board. There is a fair bit on the Bonang Hwy on the web. Try these and more. http://www.motowhere.com/maps/route/Bonang-Highway-bombala-orbost
“The gravel stretches are only about 8km long (there are two of them). Should not be a deal breaker for most riders. ”
We can ask at Bombala about rd cond.
Alternative is via Cann River and the big Rd to Orbost which is actually shorter but the Bonang is The Way. Just made for a Duke.
Look the whole show will be smashing I’m sure but where and when shall we rendezvous old chap?
