Southern Escapade

A cool and clear morning when I woke today, I headed south to ride some of my favourite roads with my friend and ride partner from Alstonville NSW.I think I have finally managed to get a clothing combo that keeps my upper body warm. Today I was using a close fitting base layer technical thermal shirt from Lowe with a plain cotton t-shirt both tucked into my BMW city pants. Over this was a

Thank you

I previously mentioned I had been contacted by Alpinestars who noticed my fitting troubles with their boots. Just that contact in itself I found pleasing however I want to update readers on this further.



I was again contacted by Tim from Alpinestars who offered to send a pair of new straps out to me to try and I was very happy about this however when I opened the package I was overwhelmed to

Delegate

One last road I want to mention in advance of my end of year ride. Seems everyone has ridden this road recently so you should find some info and pics on your favourite forum.



The road from Bombala to Orbost has gained quite a reputation as a superb ride. There is two small sections still unsealed and then about 100 odd km of twisty corners with little to no traffic.



I have been wanting to

Four Mountains

The area near Bega has some excellent riding.



I previously rode Brown Mountain and I am going to explore a couple more roads there when I next visit. In the meantime here is some preliminary information and I will fill in the gaps at the end of the year.





Near Tathra



A good ride can be enjoyed if aproaching from the North along the coast. Locals often speak of this road and I plan to

Falls Creek

Another ride I wanted to report on post the Buell Muster was the road to and from Falls Creek. From Omeo it has just been sealed all the way to the top and makes a tempting alternative to the Great Alpine Road.



I think most people know the road from Omeo to Anglers Rest has many nice corners and the road to the north of Falls Creek is also frequently spoken about so really all that was

Bunya Mountain

I didn't think today's ride would be such a big one - however that's what it turned out to be when I decided to ride to a new destination.

I left a little late at 8.00am after not being able to decide what to wear for this mornings chilly temperature. The textile jacket with it's zip in quilt liner and zip in nylon water and wind liner you would think would work better than my quilt lined

The Tablelands Way

The Tablelands Way is a route that has only recently been sealed all the way.

I was to have ridden this road on my recent tour however things didn't go to plan. Rather than wait until I can revisit here before posting anything I have decided to write just a little about it and four other roads I was going to ride so readers might consider if going on tour.


The Tablelands Way by all accounts is

New Gloves

I have been using these new gloves from Chilhowee.



After my recent experiences I started to seek a new pair of gloves. These may look simple however are anything but. Made from Deer skin and with a cotton lining they are incredibly comfortable, like no other glove I have ever worn.

The makers say Deer skin is more abrasion resistant than cow hide and also can be washed unlike leather gloves.
