2021-02 Off-the bitumen Ride based at Wollombi
Seven (7) club members participated in this ride. We stayed at the cabins, adjacent to Wollombi Tavern. On Monday we rode via The Convict Road to St Albans and Wiseman's Ferry (lunch), and return. Regrettably, the planned ride on Tuesday to the Putty Road via Big Yengo Trail was abandoned because of the wet weather. Our next 'off-the-bitumen' ride will be based at Nundle mid-week in the week beginning March 15th.
Wollombi Tavern was an excellent venue to relax over a pre-dinner drink and exaggerate one's achievements 'on the gravel'. Here Bob, John, Ian, Peter and Steve enjoy the hospitality.
