Title: Big Loop ride 19.4.11
Post by: matt86to on April 20, 2011, 04:30:55 PM
Hi Guys,

well on Tuesday  I woke up  to fine clear sky's and no wind, I which way should I go North or South?. Well I haven't done the Big loop run for a long time, so I head off from South Nowra at 7.40am I had good run down to Ulladulla from here I run into some road works just past Burrill Lake which was a bit of a hold up, onces  past the road works its was clear all the way down to Batemans Bay for a fuel stop. than up to Braidwood, now I really enjoy this part of the ride I had a top run up with no cars or trucks, I stop for a rest here before heading to Taralga & than to  Goulburn for a another fuel & a quick rest too ;D. From here I went to the Pie shop at rob for lunch, thought been the hols they might have been a few more bike but sad not  :'(. well with time getting on so I  thought it was time to head home by Macquarie Pass
well I must say I fine Macquarie Pass very over rated , but I really did enjoy myself this time 8-) I had a clear run down in both ways with no cars or trucks. from here in was onto Jamberoo and then I took the coast road home. in all it was a top day I left 7.40am & was home by 3.45 and I did around 495kms in one day  ;D.
Here a few pics I took on the way.

Nice ride. Used to have the odd beer in the Tarago pub in the mid-70s. Dosen't seem to have changed much except for the road seal!

I use to do this ride once  a month on my first GS 500 mate such a top ride ( maybe not in winter ) yep she hasn't change  at all. We have stay they for one of over nights, it's great they have a lock area were you can leave your bike.
