While the Boss was at work and the outlaws in sleepy-mode ... I headed into the 'big smoke' to see may family for a little bit. Just made sense to take the Old Road ... down mid-afternoon, back up on dusk. Hardly anyone about as evidenced by the leaf litter on the road (nothing bad, just highly unusual).

Short video as requested of the run on the 22nd. I only had footage from the RNP (please excuse the harshness of the editing.. im still learning )

OzMonsters Royal National Park/Macquarie Pass Run

Its the GoPro HD camera. They are about $400+ here or about $260 delivered from the US.
I noticed on looking back at it then its a little white (less contrast or whatever it is) im not sure if i did something accidently in the editing proggy

happy to say the old road is quiet and 99 % dry this tues morning............ive just been out to test some new Santa Boots... ......will prob head out later as well ....as weather is supposed to be improving........happy xmas

my bike has been washed/polished and is covered over the break..... im a bit iffy about going out during double dermitis..... and here you lot are flaunting about great days out being had!

we had a great ride but it was more sedate than usual ....that and a bit more time sitting round chatting   [moto] ....if you dont trust your right hand .....just pull one plug lead off...

sorry for the reallllyyyyy late notice, im having withdrawls not riding during this demerit point coupls of weeks, im thinking of going for a ride NOWish maybe bells line, or something shorter, say old rd, or any suggestions, or just something bike related

anyone interested? i definetly will not be going over the speed limit.... let me know if your keen

A

its been a while since ive done bells line, ill do it again in a couple more years....... except for 2 short short bits of twisties, its pretty boring.

  I was getting the jitters today also but didn't see your post till late. . . I love the Bellsline rd, riding thru a rugged bit of the Blue Mountains, an alway's bring's back memories of some crazy rides to Bathurst Easter races, . .however I digress.
  Tomorrow, to see out 2010 I'm going to ride to Bundeena for lunch, down thru the RNP, hang out at Otford lookout for a bit, Scarborough Pub for a beer, maybe Mac Pass, maybe not, gotta be at Brighton Le Sands around 5 ish. Any one interested in some or all of this ride ? Plans very loose and adaptable.  Cheers and HAPPY NEW YEAR.
