Well guys, I've just returned from 3 days on the road based in Coffs Harbour and I can tell you that it is probably the best alternate venue that I could find than Jindy.
It is mid way between Sydney and Brisbane and has oodles of large motels. Some have around 100 rooms.
The location and climate are ideal for riding with the Waterfall and Summerland ways just around the corner.
You can do a 400 k run up to Armidale and back, 2 hours each way, on one of the best bike roads in the WORLD, not just OZ.
It is not as dangerous as the Oxley and the surface is 100% better but still has all the twisties and open sweepers you could ask for.
There are 3 or 4 fixed speed cameras in and around Coffs but in 1,200 ks I saw 1 patrol car and it was on the Pacific Hwy.
We have a member or two up that way and I would be happy to help organise a run around late September or early October this year.
I don't want to split the group, but this will be an opportunity for the Northerners and any Southerners who want to come to get together.
From my place in Newcastle to Coffs via the Pacific Hwy is 5 easy hours. Add 2 extra hours from Sydney. There are much better roads than the Pacific Hwy though if you have time to overnight along the way.
If there is enough show of interest, I will seek out a motel in the mid range price bracket that will let me book out in advance. The average cost of a double room in Coffs is $70. per night.
