what would the aprox return time of this ride?
Dez, you know these things are pretty difficult to guess ... especially with my slow arse dragging the chain. But this is probably a good guide:
a) Kellyville Caltex (Fuel) - Arrive ~8:00 Depart 8:30 [53.1kms]
b) Colo Heights (Fuel) - Arrive 9:20 Depart 9:30 [65.9kms]
c) Halfway House regroup - Arrive 10:25 Depart 10:40 [55.3kms]
d) Broke (Fuel) - Arrive 11:40 Depart 12:00 [29.6kms]
e) Wollombi - Lunch, 1hr Arrive 12:30 Depart 13:30 [42.8kms]
f) Kulnura (Fuel) Arrive 14:05 Depart 14:20 [42.7km]
g) Mt White (Road Warriors) Arrive 15:00 Depart 15:30 [23.8km]
h) Berowra Mobil (Fuel) Arrive 16:00
Timings are based on doing the speed limit pretty much, which tends to even out the rubber banding group ride effect that occurs with bigger rides.
If you had a quick lunch and headed off early (without stopping at Kulnura and/or Road Warriors) you could shave a bit of time. Not sure if it would be any faster heading back to the freeway from Wollombi (but would make sense if we went to Cessnock/Pokolbin for lunch) ... but the trip home can be shortened by using the freeway. This all means you may be doing the last part on your own, with anybody else with a deadline or with Rob if he is riding cupcake on the 695.
