I don't remember saying yes

That's why I said interested parties and asked for confimration.

Refer to:

Another couple of thoughts ...

. Many of us have never been a fan of the dirt leading into Wollombi ... we could avoid this by heading out to Cessnock from Broke
. This opens up some other options besides the pub at Wollombi for lunch ... maybe somwhere like Paxton (I think some people are still waiting for their lunch order to be filled from many rides ago)
. Then we will have the option of continuing through to Wollombi (preferred) or back to the freeway for a quicker trip home

Just thoughts of course, any views?

Matty has picked up that ball and run with it. Still need a lunch venue though.

Umm, that was me. As I mentioned I listed people that had expressed an interest earlier ... in your case following the last run where you were reportedly doing victory laps.

I'm sure I've heard that before - alas to no avail.

Basically its shit and everybody complains about it (especially if there has been any rain). Plus the road through Paynes Crossing is pretty crappy (surface-wise).

Majority rules.

Okay why?

And yep we have ridden that road before and from memory it was a real goat track.
As to lunch spots I can book something this week so they know to expect a large-ish group.

We can go to Blue Tongue again (I'll check there's no entertainment) as the menu was pretty open
and the beer tasting was pretty popular.  

And here's a page of cafe type places

[Jukie]
