Location

Waterfall Way (Google Maps http://goo.gl/maps/p4PoJ)



Information

Chris (ST2UP) has kindly put together a fantastic idea to do Christmas in July in the High Country, at the Ebor Falls Hotel/Motel, enough beds for 26 pepople, but swags are welcome, there are fire places inside and out great value meals, and of course excellent OzSTOC Company!

There are some fantastic rides in and out to Ebor, and I can vouch for how much fun Waterfall Way is!

We will even have our own Entertainment! Dave Moore from a small local trio band "the Welder's dog" from Tenterfeild will be playing at Ebor just for our Ozstoc RTE.

Chris is giving him a bed and a feed.....Dave is really looking forward to spending the night with us as he is just starting into motorcycles with a vision of distance touring.

Dave plays Acoustic Guitar, Mandoline and Banjo......will do music from Paul Kelly and Credence through to Australian country and Irish folk music and Australian Bush poetry....all for our listening pleasure around the fire. 

Breakfast will be at Fusspots Cafe, which is a fantastic little place that Deisel, Myself and Saaz can all vouch for the quality of the Coffee  they are going to do us a group deal (Pricing TBA)

[STeveo]

I'm in. Have to fit those $5.99 heated grips before then.

 

[ST2UP]

Where in......

[saaz]

I will be in. Did not get the time to stop and admire the many views around the Waterfall Way this time, but this will make up for it.  So many great ways to get there and back, just have to try some way different yet again :)

[Biggles]

I might pull out of Biloela and do this one instead.  Biloela clashed with the Brisbane Laverda Concors which I had a bit of pressure to attend in a different shirt.

Mind you, my missus is starting to look at the kitchen calendar pretty funny-like.  I'm gonna be buying flowers sooner than later.   

[alans1100]

Have to think about this one as well .....two days ride (1500kms) as opposed to three days for Biloela (1990kms).

Though we do have another option.......Ride 900kms north to Marla and visit Heather's sister....lol

Hmm, much as I hate the Waterfall Way, I'll do it just to meet up with you guys.

Looks good to me.

After my first RTE at Rylstone I found the guys to be an interesting menagerie of personalities half of which wished they had a red STeedish dragon like Wyvern 1300. The other half already had a red dragon wannabe. Some of the others were white in fear of the Dragon or others had the blues. One was even green with envy. Others were black with depression.

The 3 hour ride was good but I would rather settle in to a few brews and head back all perky in the morning.

Looks like Mother Teresa won't be going to Adelaide because just doesn't "get" bikes yet even tho she enjoyed her trip to Katoomba recently (2 hours). She said she would be bored stiff or frightened for her life  on the back of a bike all day. Says a lot for my riding ability doesn't it.

Actually I had food poisoning from breakfast in Katoomba and the day we rode back it was one of those heatwave days. When we got back I said to Terese that was the least enjoyable ride I have ever done. Also not improving things was a phonecall while we were in Katoomba that our daughter was having an epileptic fit and was being rushed to hospital. Five minutes later they rang back to say she was alright now and is not going to hospital after all. Terese was in panic mode and wanting to get back to the Gong ASAP.

Anyway, before the dramatic trip back Terese was starting to warm to the STeed but she can't see how she would last all day on a bike. I might try Shiney's idea of flying the wife to Adelaide. Been thinking of that for a while now. I am keen on staying in Adelaide for a week and getting to know the place a bit more.

[saaz]

You don't have to you know..I mean it is a long trip for an old fella like you 

Should be a fantastic time 

Hmm, much as I hate the Waterfall Way, I'll do it just to meet up with you guys.

Some sensational riding and things to see on the way to this RTE venue, no matter which way you come from.....some idea's for your planning below;

From Grafton (Armidale Rd).... Nymboida Coachmans Inn  , has a Museum of Interesting things including bikes and Cobb & Co memorabilia and many of Russell Crowes collectables....This is his "local" pub. Followed by twisties up through Billys Crk/Tyringham passing through the Nymboi-Binderay NP.


From Urunga (Waterfall Way).... Anchors Warf restaurant  (check Diesels FarRide #22 report), Old Butter Factory at Bellingen  , 15k' Mountain twisty ride with hotmix road surface and waterfalls  , Sky Walk and Cafe  at Dorrigo NP, Griffiths Lookout (little known lookout over looking more than 100 k's of coastline  - (L) turn at top of Mountain). Worlds smallest Motorcycle museum (cafe)
Dangars Falls 1k North of Dorrigo follow Hickory St. Followed by very picturesque ride west over looking the green rolling hills of Dairy farm country and trout streams to Ebor. 


From Armidale (Waterfall Way) entering Via Oxley Hwy, Thunderbolts way, New England Hwy......Kentucky shop  (best bugers & curly fries in the free world), Wollomombi Falls 40k's east of Armidale (3rd highest in Aust at 220 mtrs  ), Ebor Trout hatchery and Ebor falls in Ebor village.


Hope these help to break up the "mundane" riding of boring twisty roads and lifeless scenery.

Good onya Tipsy..and St George - here's hoping we get to meet the man behind the eloquent and fascinating posts. As a sweetener for Terese - there are a few other gals going too. We just don't want too many, or the blokes won't be able to get a word in!

If you see Growly heading up the road to Ebor - SHOOT HIM!  (he knows too much!)               

[ST2UP]

 I was thinking of buying him a beer.....laced with a sprinkling of Sodium Pentothal, just to make sure he didn't leave out the incriminating stuff......

Cheers

Sounds to me more like he's going to be a real asset.  Marianne is obviously going to enjoy the weekend also.
She may want to pillion home with someone nice.
