Ginger's Creek, NSW - Fenda - 18-06-2001
Had a fantastic weekend going up to the Oxley highway (north of Sydney) with 12 other bikes last weekend. Superb bike roads and some pretty high average speeds even before we got to the Oxley. We went via Putty Rd, Gloucester, Wingham, Comboyne (had to do about 20kms of dirt - first time on the busa).
The place we stayed at was great. A roadside cafe in the middle of rainforest on the Oxley highway halfway between Port Macquarie and Tamworth - it's called Ginger's Creek and the proprieters are terrific people who put us up in cabins and provided excellent tucker. Sunday morning I found I had a flat (no tread left on the rear tyre and a sharp stone had peirced the carcass!) so I couldnt do my top speed attempt on the busa - damn! Had to keep to 160 only on the way back which was via Thunderbolts Way. The straights are wonderful and mile after mile of 35km bends - who needs track days?
No doubt some of you know the area Im talking about but for those who don't you really should check it out.
In fact maybe we should organise a Sydney busa run up there sometime. Ideally ride up on the Friday, spend Saturday based at Gingers with much hooning up the Oxley and then return on Sunday - busa heaven!
bye, fenda
Ginger's Creek - Poh - 19-06-2001
Fenda,
The ride you described is a great one and used by Newcastle riders quite a lot.
Options for accommodation also include the Bendemeer pub where we stay a lot. Good food, cold beer and good protection for the Busa's while we play.
The road from Bendemeer into Walcha has all of the usual flowing bends and room for a speed trial if that is what turns you on.
Other accommodation used is the Mt Seaview resort a further 20K's and lots of bends further on from Ginger's. Cheap and accommodating the resort hosts bike groups all of the time and is very friendly.
Why don't we talk about a Busa run and weekend when we are all together this weekend at Wollombi and Mt White? If the group does not want to go I am sure that a smaller group can be organised. You can count me in although we may want to go a little later in the winter as Walcha can be a bitch at Busa speeds in the winter.
