10th Anniversary Ride. We Need Your Numbers.

[Busanova]

You have the local knowledge, I'm sure we will listen to you re the roads. We want around a 500kms loop and something around the 250 mark for those who want a quiet day.

You think the bowlo is the go? We've already spoken to the pub and they have a band on that night, and they can seat up to 150 people for us. Any idea how many the bowlo can seat for dinner? We are staying at the two caravan parks down on the beach, and the pub will shuttle bus us up and back. Where is the bowlo? Is it closer than the pub? Also, keep in mind 70 - 100 busa riders take up a lot of room and get a bit noisy, the pub can cope, could the bowlo?

Thanks heaps

Heidi

Heidi,
The ride spoken about from Eden to Bombala is a good one but there are better ones especially for changes in scenery - from open road to twisty bits - some great loops so that you don't travel the same way twice.
Really looking forward to greeting you lot. I want to arrange a photographer for digital records (no expense to the club) if that's okay with the organisers. If there is a lunch or dinner to be organised may I suggest the bowlo rather than the pub for food. The latter is plain awful. Any way I can assist only too ready to help.
Cheers,
Gerry

Okay,
The bowlo is opposite the beach closer than the pub and runs a shuttle bus service; but the pub is the better venue with the band that night. The drawback is the meal. If it were me I'd have a meal at the bowlo and then head on up to the pub. I can organise the meal if required through Guy pronounced GEE at the bowlo- good food and price is okay. Re. the rides: one comes to mind is Tathra to Bermagui then Cobargo back along the highway to Bemboka turn off (pub there & pie shop) up the Brown Mountain (good fun on the twisties) across to Bombala (fuel, rest stop) then back to Wyndham (Robbie Burns pub) and then either to Pambula - Merimbula - Sapphire Coast Drive - Tathra. This ride is about 400k's but could be extended by going from Bombala to Eden via the chip mill road. This is a lot longer but okay for those who like a day in the saddle.
This route can be altered and shortened to suit and is all tar and little traffic roads except from the highway between Cobargo to Bemboka turn off where there are two speed cameras on the highway between Cobargo and Bega.
Food for thought?
Cheers
Gerry
