2020-11 Off-the-bitumen bike ride based in Nundle
This was our second 'off-the-bitumen' ride based in Nundle. The accommodation was excellent at the Fossickers' Caravan Park. The weather was brilliant. The riding was as good as it gets. All in all, this was a fabulous four day event with two full day rides - to Bendemeer via Niangala, Weabonga, Limbri and Woolbrook (323 kms) on Tuesday, and to Nowendoc via Riamukka and Enfield State Forest (281 kms) on Wednesday.

Bob, Ian and John were busy on the second barbeque also reliving past glories.

It's all about teamwork! Bob, John, Jim, Norm, Alex, Ian, Phil and Jeff make a great tug-a-war team as they retrieve a bike that went 'over the edge'.
The only evidence of 'a bike over the edge' was this ominous skid mark on the outside of the curve.
Norm, Chris and Alex enjoy a drink around the barbeque in the camp kitchen at Nundle.

More after dinner drinks in the camp kitchen, this time for Bob, John, Ian and Jeff. To the casual observer, there seems to be lots of alcohol in the photos of this 'off-the-bitumen' ride.
