Mid-Winter Ride - Gloucester Loop
Today seemed like a long ride. We headed straight to Bent on Food at Wingham who do a great coffee then headed up to Ellenborough Falls (longest single-drop waterfall in NSW) which was a nice (and easy) ride.
It was then on to Comboyne along the again, easy-riding gravel road, followed by a little shortcut on Bagnoo Rd to the Oxley Hwy.
The Oxley was a bit disappointing - there was even more roadworks than we experienced in April with a stretch of the mountain actually dug up. Gingers coffee and carrot cake is good and we were the only ones there!
We then headed back to Gloucester, but rather than the usual bitumen, we nicked back to Knodingbul Rd which passes through the Bulga Forest and the Tapin Tops National Park - we thought it might be a smooth ride like Dingo Tops Rd was a few weeks ago. Indeed it wasn’t, most of its 73km is a hard-rocky base covered in loose gravel of various sizes.
The Blue Knob Lookout was a very worthwhile stop - it offers a nice tower to climb for a better look at its 360° panoramic view.
A final stop at the Dingo Tops Picnic area provided a short rest before the gravelly decline down to Mount George, more gravel through to Bundook and the twisty ride back to Gloucester.
