A clear sunny winter day saw 11 well “rugged up” riders depart Heathcote at 10:00am and track south down the old Pacific Highway.
With a quick detour through our scenic National Park before jumping back onto the Princess Highway, we then proceeded down Mount Ousley and onto the Albion Park roundabout and then onto Jamberoo for smoko at the sports ground.
After morning tea all riders were anxious to jump back onto their machines to tackle and enjoy the Jamberoo Mountain Road section of today’s ride.
Today the road was closed, something about trees being dropped and last weeks rain washing the road away near the top of the escarpment.
A quick update (re the above) was given to the group and resulted in 11 different best ways to go forward.
The beauty of living in a democracy was again demonstrated when the call was made to “go to the blowhole” in Kiama.
It was wonderful to see the whole group having lunch in Kiama 17 minutes after having morning tea.......in Jamberoo.
Anyway, after lunch, there was a need to arrest the disappointment of not getting to the dam and it came from one of the guys (PW) “let’s go back to Albion Park, via Jamberoo and go up Macquarie Pass, throw a right into Tourist Road and go back home that way”.
With renewed enthusiasm, the bulk of riders scrambled back onto their bikes and enjoyed the twisting challenges on the homeward bound trip.
Many of the riders stopped at Macca’s near the airport and refuelled whilst yours truly hit the M7/M2.
Thanks to Rob and Tony for their TEC/backup duties and trust everyone enjoyed today’s ride.
Cheers,
Peter Richo.
