Well what a wonderful wonderful magical day I've just had.
9:15 left Macca's Kooringal (Wagga), with 2 other Redbacks. We rode to Tumut via the 'Doom' Hwy - this was the most boring bit. Turned on to the Snowy Mtns Hwy and had a ball. We got to Tumut at around 10:15-10:30 (didn't look at my watch until after I'd topped the tank off). For those who don't know Wagga to Tumut is around 100km.
We were then joined by a 4th rider (potential new member).
From Tumut to Talbingo, a quick stop just to re-group. I really do like that piece of road - except for the excessive amount of road kill - strange - I've never seen so many dead animals on the road before.
Anyway, from Talbingo to Kiandra and on to Cabramurra for lunch - the best way to describe this part of the run is Tight, Tighter, Tightest followed by wonderful fast flowing sweepers and finally some more tight stuff around Mt Selwyn and Cabramurra. To say we had fun would be a major understatement. In fact having this much fun should be illegal - oh hang on.........it is. Yes a couple of us (read all) we travelling at speeds that could have seen us "go to gaol, go directly to gaol, do not pass go, do not collect $100".
Ashamed of myself - yes - did I have fun - YES - would I do it again YES YES and YES......
After lunch, 1:00, we decided to go to Khankoban - basically 65km of more Tight, Tighter, Tightest corners.
We again filled up the tanks, and then headed for Tumbarumba - generally fast sweeping bends with just enough tight stuff to keep you on your toes.
Coffee at Tumbarumba and then the run home - the Tumbarumba to Wagga Road is a bit rough but is generally fast sweeping corners until you get back to the 'Doom' were everything gets a bit boring again.
Wonderful, Wonderful day. Got home around 5:00 after 470km of magic. The only real downer was once we got out of the mountains, the heat really hit - thank goodness for Hyrdrapacks.....
And isn't 'The Treasurer' pissed. She couldn't come, she'd made an appointment for "The Youngest" at the optomistrists - which incidently cost $230.00. So she's REALLY PISSED.
