Expressions of interest for the 5 ferry ride

[goldFiSh]

there's good reason that road sees no traffic....

Ermmm, I see what I did here, we should have jigged when we jagged:
......
Small trap for new players, don't skip the third ferry and send 10 nice clean monsters down a 10km dirt track. My bad. In my defence, I did only look at the map for like 2 minutes before I left this morning.

Outside of the little dirt excursion it was a good day. 

Even WITH the dirt excursion it was a good day - certainly made for some funny stories.
Also, I thought the "Ski Park" we pulled up near (at the beginning of the dirt) was "Del Rio", not Souths Juniors, or Mt Andrew, or whatever the heck it actually was.  One thing is for sure, there was no turning back once we got to the top of that hill.

Anywho..

Quiet day for the photogs, but as Matty said, we shot some rounds on top of the mountain...

...

Craigo wondering where it all went wrong


Anyone got a GPS handy?


So THAT'S how lost we are.


Some tone mappery.


Some more dirty (quick) tone mappery.



PM me for the source data.


... Cheers again for an awesome day.
And thanks Matty for the lines coming home. SUPER helpful.

You're welcome mate.

We did look like a bit of sorry bunch didn't we. Do you think the dirt bike riders or mountain bike riders were more surprised to see a bunch of high end naked bikes riding through the bush!

My calculations there was about $150,000 worth machinery scampering up that hill...

[Jukie]

well im glad i didnt go , that dirt stuff is no good for anyone and as for getting lost hey i wasn't even there so you cant blame me .

[braando]

Firstly,..my sincere apologies for posting the following photos (but couldn't help myself) 
A friend of mine was passenger in a model T Ford, one of a hundred on a rally last week. He told me about this road they were on, apparently after crossing a ferry near Sackville.... ......YES........Model T Fords i said....  and please pay particular attention to the photo with the sharp corner....does it look familiar to anyone here...?    [moto]

To be fair Brian those cars were designed for roads like that

[mattyvas]

And probably handle them better still.....

thinking ahead i did a recon ride last thursday ....hornsby ...broke....denman....bylong valley way and then enjoyed that road so much turned around and rode the same track back . I t was a good exercise to ride the bylong road twice as it is certianly interesting and enjoyable .....we should keep this one in mind now we have daylight saving on our side .

[mattyvas]

It surely is a great road.
Not for a large group though, even with daylight saving we'd struggle with having many on that road.

[hambo]

sounds like an overnighter at ??[moto]...... ...but that needs a bit more planning

Been toying with the thought of Sydney --> Putty --> THAT ROAD --> LITHGOW --> Sydney.. Think it would be about 10 hours of solid riding though.

[craigo]

there is a little bit of dirt on that route (serious).   

[mattyvas]

Recently did the Oxley Hwy which was about 650 k's each day which was 4 legs
of about 2 hours each. That was with 4 riders though. 

[rendang]

I'm really keen to ride That Road and have thought it might be best to do it as an overnighter (even midweek ?) So if one or two or a few of us are thinking along the same lines, let's do it ?
