St Albans pub lunch stop, a great day out today, meet Mark with his CrossTourer at Pie In The Sky, then run up Old Pacific then across and down to Wisemans Ferry via Spenser, then a short dirt run along Settlers Road to St Albans.
Arrived to early for lunch so we did the 70km round trip up the dirt on Wollombi Road to Great North Road, turned around and back same way to the Pub.
After lunch back along Settlers to Wisemans then onto Glenorie, I took Catti Ridge Road back to home.
Perfect day out

A day in the mountains then lunch by the river
Easy run today to Bilpin via Wheeny Creek up Mountain Lagoon Road.
Getting a bit dusty so good to wash it off in the creek but the water level was to low.
The good thing about today was Stephen has now got knobbies on his Ducati Multistrada.
Day run to Wombeyan Caves enjoying the dirt sections.
NOTE - did not notice the dirt on my camera lens so the photos are a bit crappy.
Meet Stephen at Pheasants Nest petrol station.
Head south on the freeway and exit at Mittagong to cross over freeway and pick up Wombeyan Caves Road via Bullio this is a windy dirt road down to the caves, sections of this road are quite narrow and many blind corners.
After a very exciting and demanding ride we make it into the caves camp ground.
Both bikes are now properly covered in dust which is very pleasing to see.
Stephens Ducati
AND of course my CrossTourer
After a rest and re-hydration we head out the other way up to Abercrombie Road to Oberon for a great pub lunch.
Then a via Tarana and Lake Lyell to Lithgow and back home over the mountains via Bells Line Road.
A great day out although a little warm it was an average of 35 degrees Celsius for most of the day.

Putty Road south bound top 16km bends to get a feel for how well the TKC 80’s tyres would go on tar - felt a little nervous on one bend when I scraped my left foot peg … hmmm … must remember that I do not have road tyres on any more !!

A perfect ride day - 18 degrees mid morning with top expected 22 degrees, meet Stephen at Hawkins Lookout - Old Northern Road.
The plan today is to go to Wisemans Ferry across the river, turn left along Settlers Rd to St Albans, lunch at the pub, then up Wollombi Rd (dirt) to George Downs Drive, across the top past the dam then right into Bloodtree Rd to connect to Wisemans Ferry Rd to get back to the Wisemans.
Back over the river then right into River road which is a narrow and twisty road that follows the Hawkesbury River and is very pretty with many tight bends this takes us up to Sackville Ferry Rd - take the Ferry across the the river again then left into Tizzana Rd to swing past the Tizzana Winery via Wilberforce into Windsor, total trip for today 254km with about 120km+ gravel road.
Hawkins lookout
Lunch at the St Albans pub - top spot, a very old and friendly pub with great food well worth the stop.
Well earned rest top end of Wollombi Road after 35km of climbing gravel road
Stephen very pleased with himself
A excellent day out and about in the great roads a few hours out from Sydney.
Comleroy Road to Mountain Lagoon - trying out the GoPro - need to learn how to make better image and I have made some adjustments to the mounting after this run as it very shaky
