Okay time to post up maps & photos I suppose. (seeing as I have been reminded
). Weather and roads were so good last week that it's depressing to be home with the rain, hail and snow. To think that last weekend on Mount Hotham was sunny and warm but this weekend it was covered in 10cm of snow.
Glad I didn't have to ride in that. Not very many photos were taken due to lots of riding being done instead.
So the trip went pretty much as planned apart from the road to Cabramurra being closed on the first day so a different route was taken then two days later the road was open so up it we went which made the day a little longer than planned (491kms - sorry Gino
) which was good practice for me as I rode 780kms the next day to get home [moto] All the roads in the mountains are okay. Heaps of landslips on the way up Falls Creek but the road surface was practically clear of debris by the time we went through.
I had a friend recommend the Red Bank Rd (Gundowring Rd) as an alternative to the Keiwa Valley Hwy. It's also listed in the Motorcycle atlas. I found the road absolutely boring apart from the river running through a farm driveway. The only other entertainment along this road was someone getting stung by a bee and, being allergic to bees, ripping clothes off on the side of the road to get the sting out and trying to be clothed again by the time the other rider turned back. Almost managed it.
So here's the biz:

The only thing I would change would be to go to Adaminaby and back to Jindabyne on day 4 instead of going to Tumut. But it was fun anyway.
