Left Thursday and headed north via Bucketts Way, Gloucester, Walcha &#8211; stopped at Armidale for night 1. Day 2 continued north via Guyra, Glen Innes &#8211; coffee at Tenterfield. From Tenterfield I turned east and aimed for Casino &#8211; that is an awesome ride! From Casino to Lismore, north to Bangalow then up the highway to Nerang exit &amp; out to Ashmore. The return journey was broken up with a stop at relatives at Sandy Beach &#8211; including a pretty hairy &amp; cold night ride from Ashmore to Grafton for coffee &amp; then to Sandy Beach at 9.00pm. Final day was just straight down the highway &#8211; feeling pretty tired and over it, back home at 3.00pm Sunday.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2027\" style=\"width: 430px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nige.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/Ashmore-Qld-Country-Team-0021.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2027\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2027 \" title=\"Ashmore Qld Country Team 002\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nige.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/Ashmore-Qld-Country-Team-0021-420x315.jpg\" alt=\"Day 1 on Hwy before Bucketts turn-off\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.nige.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/Ashmore-Qld-Country-Team-0021-420x315.jpg 420w, http:\/\/www.nige.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/Ashmore-Qld-Country-Team-0021-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2027\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Day 1 on Hwy before Bucketts turn-off<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_2028\" style=\"width: 430px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nige.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/Ashmore-Qld-Country-Team-0031.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2028\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2028 \" title=\"Ashmore Qld Country Team 003\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nige.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/Ashmore-Qld-Country-Team-0031-420x315.jpg\" alt=\"Lookout on Thunderbolts just out of Gloucester\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.nige.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/Ashmore-Qld-Country-Team-0031-420x315.jpg 420w, http:\/\/www.nige.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/Ashmore-Qld-Country-Team-0031-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2028\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lookout on Thunderbolts just out of Gloucester<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_2036\" style=\"width: 430px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nige.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/Ashmore-Qld-Country-Team-0042.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2036\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2036 \" title=\"Ashmore Qld Country Team 004\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nige.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/Ashmore-Qld-Country-Team-0042-420x315.jpg\" alt=\"Pretty wet ride through to Walcha\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.nige.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/Ashmore-Qld-Country-Team-0042-420x315.jpg 420w, http:\/\/www.nige.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/Ashmore-Qld-Country-Team-0042-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2036\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pretty wet ride through to Walcha<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_2031\" style=\"width: 430px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nige.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/Ashmore-Qld-Country-Team-013.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2031\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2031 \" title=\"Ashmore Qld Country Team 013\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nige.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/Ashmore-Qld-Country-Team-013-420x315.jpg\" alt=\"Just leaving Tenterfield\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.nige.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/Ashmore-Qld-Country-Team-013-420x315.jpg 420w, http:\/\/www.nige.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/Ashmore-Qld-Country-Team-013-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2031\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Just leaving Tenterfield<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_2037\" style=\"width: 325px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nige.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/Ashmore-Qld-Country-Team-0111.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2037\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2037 \" title=\"Ashmore Qld Country Team 011\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nige.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/Ashmore-Qld-Country-Team-0111-315x420.jpg\" alt=\"Somewhere between Armidale and Glen Innes -
