Well, finally got there,
Left Sydney at around 3pm, and did a absentee vote at Leura then continued on. Little bit of drizzle over the mountains, not enough to get wet but enuf to make it chilly.
Aftre a quick fuel stop at Wallerawang and a sausage roll, I took off towards Ilford, sofala, then finally hill end.
Was a group of Adventure riders there already who prefered to stay in the pub, where I grabbed a couple of beers and a feed from the kitchen. They had a Blues singer giving it his all and doing a very good job.
$7 for the nite at the Village campsite, then off down the bridal track heading to Bathurst.
Nice bit of water over the weir at the turon, and a swag of great camping spots all along the river.
The blockage at Monaghans Bluff isn’t bad, but the landslip is a bit freaky, especially with two cars (one hilux) at the bottom of the cliff, and you can be fairly sure there won’t be a car coming at you around the tight bends, but as bikes can get through you may come across some coming the other way.

eventuall made it to Bathurst, then Lithgo then home via the Bells.
More Drizzle – rain, and a traffic holdup were unfortunately a bike didn’t ride to the contitions and came to grief, dun’t know if the rider was ok, but I can only hope. Didn’t stop cars from wanting to sit right on my arse untill i could pull over on a shoulder and let them pass. A small truck pulling out in front of the traffic soon after tha accident put a nice buffer between them and me.
First ride report, hope you like
regards
Sean
