Title: Late notice touristy ride down Berry way Tomorrow (15/9)
Post by: brembo on September 14, 2006, 01:48:28 AM
Posted this on another board;

QuoteThe weather's looking to be good again, so I'm thinking of packing the camera, hopping on the GS and taking a ride down towards Berry/Gerroa tomorrow.

Probable route will be; RNP, coast road, Bulli Pass, Mt Kiera, Maq Pass, Kangaroo Valley, Mt Cambewarra lookout, Berry, maybe Gerroa, then back via an undetermined route. I plan on taking my sweet time getting around, and food/drink stops will be whenever needed, same with fuel stops.

If anyone's interested, post up anyone's welcome.

Wore my summer jacket, turned out to be a littlee bit cold, but overall a night day out. Left at 1am, got home at 4pm all sore and knackered. Ended up going RNP, Seacliffe bridge, Bulli Pass, Mt Kiera (and lookout), Maq Pass, Kangaroo Valley, Mt Cambewarra lookout, Berry, Kiama curves ( :bowdown: ), Kiama blowhole, then back via Shellharbour and Stanwell tops. One part of the ride south is 75% of the fun stuff is downhill, and all the leaning on the bars and gripping the tank takes it right out of you!

Took a few photos, also think I've found another good spot for car/bike twilight photos down in Shellharbour. Clocked over 350km, used 14.2L of PULP, and overall had a nice day out.

Please do, thats a pretty part of the state to ride in.

I went to the motor racing museum this arvo, still got Gregg Hansford display on & a lot of other bikes as well. Went & payed repects to Brocky at Skyline as well.
