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!
