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.

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.

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.
