NSW Overnighter 12th July 2014 "Christmas in July" - URALLA

[ST2UP]

 

MINUS 11 at Glen Innes last night, and Guyra is usually colder than Glen.

Maybe it will warm up before the weekend.

I can laugh- the ride I'm committed to is coastal in daylight.

Biggles don't tell them that    or that we are to get snow on Thursday and possible for Saturday 

Just think warm thoughts 

[Abe]

light frost in Sydney this morning. 

Enjoy the weekend one and all.

SO   STranger does need snow chains AND Ice spikes    and I need a long extension lead to wrap myself in lecky blanket  on the  coolbloody cold ride

This is not what I signed up for.
Howwever, we're departing in 30mins, and we'll see you all on Friday arvo.

A safe and fun ride to all those beginning their journey today 

[Wombattle]

Well. My ride last week on the other Honda got cut short so a Christmas celebration sounds great.  See you all on Saturday. Any suggestions on a sensible arrival time?

The riders from the Saturday ride to Dorrigo should be back around the fire at the pub by 4pm (ish).......if that helps

Sweet, thanks.  Took me a while to work out why you were all carrying on about cold.  Then I realised I will only have to leave on Saturday rather than take an extra day to get to the other Uralla where the forecast is 30.9 degrees.

And what time is the Saturday ride leaving, I presume from the pub?

[ST2UP]

So the New England Cool'n'Crispy Cruise will kick off from Uralla on the Saturday morning at around 0930 from the Pub......We will do Uralla - Armidale - Tryingham - Nth Dorrigo (Lunch) - Ebor - Uralla. So you will get to experince some of the best of the WaterFall Way and a few twisty back roads......even a hoon  down & back up the beautifull Dorrigo Mtn if you wish ??
 

Options to see along the way (to be decided by the group on the day) Wollomombi falls (2nd Highest in Aust), Ebor Falls, Dorrigo Steam Rail collection, Dorrigo NP rainforest Skywalk......even Dan Seymours memorial 

Can meet any riders coming in from the coast at North Dorrigo for lunch


A Lazy 300 k's for the Day......and back to Uralla before the real New England winter chill sets in and to the open fire 

Breakfast at 0800 for those interested at "The White Rose Diner" 82 Bridge St Uralla. (Just South of the Pub, opposite side of the road)

We will head off about 09:30........leaving a little later than usual to give the roads and shaded corners a chance to get some morning sun on them.......-4 and heavy frosts for the Saturday morning

I suppose that would be in the Ben Lomond Range, around 1,500m above sea level, any higher than that up that way?

Geez i`m glad I don't live in such a cold climate, its not even that cold in Vic ...............................Enjoy the ride ............

Nigel, in Victoria that's around the same height at Mt Buller Village, plenty of snow there, only -3C tonight, -8C tomorrow night.
