There was a time when we ALL thought a long ride was to Maccas in the next suburb.

Now passing Kendall, I have a friend who used to live on Railway Street, opposite the oval/sports ground. He has since moved to Port Macquarie.

Moving right along... heading maybe towards Port Mac, or probably west to Wauchhope windy roads towards Walcha?

Photobucket is slow at loading my pics, will update when possible.

Good time, around 260Km by my reckoning, and on the way to Coffs.

Waterfall Way is a great ride. I once traveled north of there to Tuckers Nob, (single lane narrow gutted track) but someone had added a short piece of black insulation tape horizontally to the middle of the 'T' on the direction sign...

Made me laugh for many further miles that day. :grin
