That's encouraging, since your Missus posted it.  Sounds like she's planning to stay around at least another year!   :grin

I'll put my hand up for a place in the frost. 
Just means it can go in the diary and anything else can fit in around it, unlike far too many OzSTOC events that have clashed for me this year.

It is in my ride list so I hope to attend  :wht11 as events that time of year are sparse.  Its just a matter of which roads to go in and out of as I have been on all of them multiple times this year, and all are so good and have their own attractions   :think1.

There are also other motels etc in Uralla so don't be put off by the available rooms at the venue, should be more space.

We decided to throw this up VERY early to assist ppl who have lifestyles that need this sort of forward planning.....I know it makes our life easier to get time off together and kids sorted.

You missed out on the curly fries, and now the sweet potato wedges with chili and garlic dip.  That fits somewhere in breakfast-coffee-lunch-go home cycle

Had lunch here late last week with some friends, the food super duper delish !!!  :clap

The Manager tells me they pride them selves on the facilities they can offer to bike groups and have loads of return patronage for that reason.

This overnight RTE is set to be a ripper  :thumbsup

At this stage, I plan on arriving on Friday arvo, so I'd be keen to have a look around.  :thumbs

Hi,   It's a bit premature for me to go at this stage.   I have a specialist appointment on the 4th June regarding my back operation.   I would say I am a big no for this one guys.   I hope you have a very enjoyable time and I'm pretty certain you all will.

No problems if you want a bed. Room number 5 if you get there before me (quite likely!)  just say it is for John!  Ensuite and all.   I could even bring that screen for the 1100 if you want a look and compare.

I am just catching up with messages etc etc as quite a few build up when I am away, and all this extra stuff is happening on top. I might even have to take the ipad when I travel to keep up, which sort of defeats the purpose of getting away on the bike  :OldMan

Ok people, I have been given the blessings by the missus to go on this overnighter  :runyay in what is our last weekend of the school holidays.
I'll make the necessary calls tomorrow morning to book a room, I snore and have been known to blow the windows out of a room so I'll need to book solo accommodation. Lucky the pub is not made 'outta' straw.
I'll plan to leave early on Saturday morning from Illawong/Menai. perhaps I can meet up with someone on the way up bearing in mind that I am a very sedate rider.

Hi folks,

FYI - I have just re-booked a room at the pub and the people there said that there were only a couple of room left.  Better get in quick if you want to stay at the Top Pub.

A slight change for me, the wife had a shoulder reconstruction last January and still has some issues with the job.  her Specialist had a brain fart when Trish told him that she was planning a motorcycle trip.....long and shot, she WON'T be attending.  I have convinced a mate, (Middo an ST Club member) that he should attend so it's a body count of two for me.  I'm just glad that I didn't book the honeymoon suite...........

I will leave Friday and go the more interesting way. I don't know where or when I will stop Friday afternoon, but having done a few distance rides lately it is likely to be shorter distances rather than longer.  A trip into Dorrigo for lunch sounds ok, as it means a sleep in somewhere - Urunga pub, since I could not make that one??

John if you havnt riden the Orara Way behind Coffs up to near Grafton followed by the Grafton-Armidale rd to just past Tyringham.....its worth a look, but then again if you do sleep in, the hot mix of the Dorrigo Mtn if you get a clear run is just scrumptious  :thumbs

Hey STinky Pete,

I can suggest you go to either BOM weather or Weatherzone on your computer and type in 'Uralla NSW;. The computer will give you the temps etc for a week at a time plus forecasts.  Knowing what I know about Uralla (worked in the area for over 20 years) you can probably expect heavy morning frosts, minus temperatures most mornings and max temps usually around the mid-teens, if you're lucky!!  Usually a cold westerly or southerly blowing as well.  Pack the thermals, make sure the heated grips work properly and rug up!

I'll see you at the bar for a rum or two...medicinal purposes only of course!

If I said it was going to be a little crisp....I would be lying to you  :whistle

If we have clear days & nights, daytime temps will max out around 12 degrees and a little warmer than that for the Saturday ride around Dorrigo but a little cooler around Ebor on the way......night time temps well below 0, and that's why we will head off no earlier than 0900 Saturday to get some sunshine on the roads we will travel.

So if we have some serious cloud cover, nights will be warmer and days colder.......add some rain then we can talk sleet & snow but if the wind comes with it......ironically it will be to cold for snow  :whistle


We are a few hundred metres higher than Uralla and you can drop a few more degrees off the above temps....particularly during the day  :OldMan


Safe to say from a warm clothing point of view......if'in ya own it, bring it  |-i


It will just make you appreciate the roaring wood fires all the more  :hatwave

Uralla and Guyra weather is no problem. They are both higher than Canberra (I am at 530 metres or so, they are 1000 metres plus above sea level) so I just expect it to be a bit colder than home.  And they keep on saying that Canberra is a cold place... :rofl

Hay Plains Pete ?? :runyay

That's the way we are going, and I actually quite like the Hay Plains.   It's much like riding the northern SA outback with lots of "me" pondering time, and horizon to horizon views.   It's part of what this great country is, and I have always loved every kilometer that I've travelled over the years.

I've never found the Hay Plains boring. There are some monstrous dams along there (2Km along road and more than that back across paddock) and different crops growing through the seasons. Yes, it is 'set the throttle lock and lean on tank bag' type of road, but like most things in life it is your attitude that counts.

Just booked a double room for Marissa and I at Uralla. Looking forward to the trip and digging out all the winter riding gear I once owned. Have to find it first? :think1

The only odd part was I questioned the guy about the price as he quoted me $80 for a double room?
I mentioned that it was down as $70 for a double on our website? He told me it was $80 for a double room for two people and $70 for a double room if only one person stays in the room?

I wonder if they only wash one side of the sheets on those nights?  :eek

Room 11 had electric blankets and a working heater. STroppy stayed in 10 with none of these  ;-*  A tip is to turn on the column heater as soon as you get there to warm up the room.

I should be in Uralla the night before, or more, just wandering aimlessly over those nasty twisty roads for a bit...

Just had a chat with Leah from the Pub and she advised that they have put the Accommodation prices up just a little......but as we made our booking in July last year they will honour the price quoted....... :like


So that's $70 Double / Twin and $40 a single

Hello people, unfortunately I have to pull out of this one. I woke up with a sore back 2 weeks ago and had become progressively worse where a ct scan this week showed narrowing of nerve channel on 3 disks + a couple of other problems that I won't bore you with. My right hand and arm have been permanently numb and am getting excruciating pain at certain angles with the right arm. I have a specialist Appointment in July and am totally off the bike till then.
I have spoken with Johnny and he is taking over my room, number 7.
I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful weekend and please post as many photos as possible.

I can verify that the Guyra-Ebor road has some rough sections - in fact they must have used all the rough road signs in NSW!  Went that way to Yeppoon just recently.  The roads after it are worth the ride though.

  Yep  you can put us down for lunch   we are staying in Glen Innis on Friday night

   So might bump into you on the way

  Peter & Marian  8)


We be going through Ebor about 10:15 if you want to meet up......Great little country Coffee shop on the right hand side in the village called Fuss Pots.....the Guyra to Ebor road is sealed but a little rugged in places in the middle section.

Morning folks,

Just back from a morning surf and feel invigorated...or is that snap frozen?  The water is still about 22 degrees but the ambient temp....6 or 7.

Not too many sleeps for the Uralla run, really looking forward to the weekend.  See most of you at Dorrigo for lunch I guess.  A couple of us are travelling from the Gold Coast via Iluka, Grafton and Coffs.  Are we having a group ride into Uralla from Ebor perhaps?

The group ride from Ebor sounds like a nice idea, though the logistics of getting everyone to Ebor at the same time will be the greatest challenge. We should be riding through Ebor somewhere between 1:30 and 2pm Saturday arvo if everything goes to plan along the way after meeting up with Greencan and Laurie in Kyogle around 10am. So we might even see you guys along the way?

I'm booked into the Bushranger Motor Inn, Uralla, Fri 11 and Sat 12 Jul.
I'll be towing the bike and leaving it and the trailer at a secret destination on the way to have some work done to it.
I can also offer a gratis passenger/courier service Canberra, Goulburn, Bathurst, Mudgee, Gunnedah, Barraba, Uralla and return via the same route.
Please add me to the dinner list on Sat night.

Unchanged. Staying there Thursday and Friday nights at the moment.  400km ride to Uralla would be via the Ozley, but a bit too early a start unless it warms up a lot!

The forecast of 10 degrees for Uralla is toasty warm against the area's of 3 degree temps Marissa and I rode through last night on our way back from Byron Bay. Until we hit the lower end of the Gold Coast it was single figures all the way. It was good preparation for Marissa for next weekend as Marissa has been pillion in cold weather, but has never ridden in cold temperatures before. She is determined to ride her VFR to Uralla and after last nights effort I'm sure that she is going to cope with it fine.

Just real glad that I have chosen to live on the coast...Uralla's MAXIMUM day temps are what we are getting as a MINIMUM overnight....and we think that's cold. One does get a bit complacent with the mild weather and man is it a rude shock when you hit that cold and then there's the wind-chill....brrrr!  Thermals the order of the weekend me thinks!  Shoulda opted for those heated grips....bugger!

Safe ride to Uralla everyone, the weekend should be a hoot!

Funny you should mention heated grips Jochen50. I was wondering around Moto Barn the other day with a set of Oxford heated grips in my hand with every intention of buying them for my ST.

At $120 for a set I can't really understand why there not standard equipment on just about ever bike sold? Still I put them back and walked out empty handed (which was a first for me in itself).

Post by: Jochen50 on July 07, 2014, 01:47:31 PM
Hey Barry and Marissa,

Yep, I know, the heated grips are a bone of contention for me....every year, without fail, I go somewhere on the ST where the winter temperature/weather is a bit dismal, and every year I swear that 'as soon as I get back home I will get heated grips',  but I don't worry once I can smell the sea breeze.  I may be a bit s l o w......I still don't have a set!!!  Perhaps 2014 is the year I get 'em on the bike, $120 is pretty damn cheap..I will look into it and thanks for the heads-up, Moto Barn here I ciome.

Same as you, I have always wondered why the ST's don't have that little luxury as standard equipment...that WOULD make the ST's absolutely perfect!!  catch up with you for a chat at Uralla.

Maybe it will warm up before the weekend.

WOW!!!! What an extremely successful weekend in the New England town of Uralla. I think quite a few of us really felt the cold   :eek that morning JonnnYTED, Sicman,  pitSTop and ST2UP left for breakfast in Uralla. It was a white frosty -4 as the guys rode to Uralla, folllwed by a tourist ride through the beautiful country side of Dorrigo with other members.

I would like to mention how fantastic it was to see the amount of pillions that turned up with their riders. If this was your first ride we hope that you all had such a great ride and a great weekend and will see you again soon. So thank you to you all despite the weather.

It was also fantastic to see the members that travelled many many kms to support this very successful weekend.

Thanks to everyone who attended this Overnight RTE on this brisk winters weekend in Uralla, I trust all had a great time........the opportunity to catch up with fellow OzSTOC die hards over a few brilliant meals and some great riding roads is the best therapy for a busy life style......lets face it RTE's are a lifestyle  :thumbsup

Love seeing these overnighter RTE's in our smaller country towns, OzSTOC members and our RTE's bring a welcome surge of thousands of dollars to the local economy  :-++


We had 38 people for the RTE meal at the Top Pub and 34 for Breakfast the next morning :hatwave

In addition to the overnighter we had 15 for a ride to North Dorrigo via parts of the Waterfall Way for lunch at the small restaurant converted from the old village shop. Checked out some scenic lookouts, waterfalls and steam railway in the area.


Thanks again everyone  :-++

Howdy again folks,

I'm not long home (in Iluka) after an extended weekend ride following the Uralla show. Middo and I rode south from Uralla to Tamworth, caught up with some family & friends, we headed back home today via the New England Hway and Gibraltar Range to Grafton.  Cold start but a really good ride back to the coast.  Counted 7 Highway cars between Armidale and Glen Innes....all were already gainfully employed with cars as we snuck past... thankfully.

I just wanted to say a big thanks & well done to Chris and Jean for a great job of getting everything organised for a fantastic weekend!  It was akin to 'herding cats' more often than not, but Chris and Jean do have some special skills.  Great roads and scenery. Excellent company, food (North Dorrigo Cafe was great as was the Top Pub) you can ask for nothing better.  Looking forward to the photos and the next ride.

A big thanks to Chris and Jean for organising a fantastic RTE. It was great to see so many people turn up and nice to catch up with some old friends and make a few new ones too!

Greencan, Paul G, Marissa and myself took two days to ride home to Brisbane. Sunday was an easy run from Uralla to Inverell and up to Tenterfield.  Today Greencan and Marissa and I rode the Mt Lindsay Rd from Tenterfield through to Woodenbong and home through Rathdowney. We had heard so many negative comments about this piece of road but were determined to see it for ourselves.
There is no question you have to take your time on the few dirt sections, and some sections that are sealed are rough and bumpy. But the reward of the ever changing scenery sure makes the effort worthwhile. Best road I've ridden in a long time and there is so much to see along the way.

Hear, hear! :thumbsup. Well done to you both :-)

I can only concur with what Barry has just mentioned, please do not write off this section of decommisioned hwy that once was the main road link from Sydney to Brisbane, without allowing youself at least 4 hours (min), to travel along it. It is perhaps it's run down state that rewards those who do take up the challenge to experience of piece of Australian motoring history in some truly spectacular mountainous countryside and with a lot of attached history.

Remember, it's not all about the eating and an occasional idiot who thought he was a dog, it is more about the Ride to and from there. ;-*

Just a thought.

Ciao, the can :-)

Many thanks to Chris & Jean for a fantastic 'Christmas in July'. We really should have a monthly 'Christmas in (month of year)'.   ;-*

Got back to Wollongong at 6:30pm.  Went home via Thunderbolt Way with JohnnyYTHED leading the way.  Icy roads, rough roads, damaged bitumen and loose gravel all made the trip to Gloucester just that much more interesting. From there, Fiona and I decided we needed to make up time by going via Newcastle and the freeways, rather than following Johnny via Singleton and the Putty Road. WRONG!  Heavy rain followed us all the way to Raymond Terrace.  We decided to have lunch and sit the rain out at RT. It cleared 20 mins later, and it was all clear sailing all the way home after that. Although we did make a couple more coffee stops along the way.

Fiona and I had a great weekend riding the Dorrigo ranges and making new OZTOC friends. It made the cold nights and mornings all irrelevant.  It was all over too soon.

Now on to the next RTE.  :runyay

Most of the bikes found shelter in the drive through bottle shop for the night. Only a few were left outside.  So not sure if there are any pictures of all the bikes covered in frost. I was only able to capture a couple of individual bikes with frost and one of them wasn't even an ST.  If you want those, I can give it to you, let me know.  o:)
