Like riding through the Hilltops region? Then why not join the Club for a Sunday ride through the Hilltops to the start of NSW’s Great Western Plains, for lunch at the Rusty Horse Hotel (aka Railway Hotel), Bribbaree (217 km)? Prefer a shorter ride – then join us for the first leg through to Murrumburrah-Harden and coffee (134 km one way)?

Outbound: via the Barton and Hume Hwys, Lachlan Valley Way, Cunningar Rd to  Harden-Murrumburrah (coffee/rest stop at Barnestore Emporium, Murrumburrah), Wombat Rd, Olympic Hwy, Henry Lawson Way and Bribbaree Rd through to Bribbaree for lunch (217 km): https://maps.app.goo.gl/zMVKp9KSHYmkwfLL6

Return: via Milvale Rd to Young, Murringo Rd to Boorowa and Lachlan Valley Way to Hume and Barton Hwys (214 km): https://maps.app.goo.gl/R5EvTcEbsWQFsBf79

Return route rest stop – Riders to decide on day - ??Boorowa (114km ex. Bribbaree).

Approx. 430 km return (ex. Ampol Foodary, Nicholls) on sealed main, secondary and back roads (expect damaged surfaces).

Fuel: Available in Harden, Murrumburrah, Young and Boorowa.

Meeting Point: Meet fuelled and ready to go at the Ampol/Caltex Foodary, Gold Creek (Nicholls) for an 08:30 set-off.

GS Riders: For those keen on a gravel/dirt route/detour, you’re more than welcome to join us en route, or at the Pub.

Register if you're interested in coming so I can let the Pub know likely numbers for lunch. Please email rides@bmwmcc.au if you plan to meet the group on the way or at the Pub (and it isn’t already identified on your registration), or head elsewhere after coffee in Murrumburrah.

For those joining the ride along the way, or making their own way to the Pub, proposed meeting points (with best guess times) are:

• Ampol/Caltex Foodary, Gold Creek (Nicholls): Dep. 08:30
• Murrumbateman Country Inn: Passing by, not stopping 08:55
• Barnestore Emporium, 356 Albury St, Murrumburrah (coffee stop): Arr. 10:05, Dep. by 10:45
• Rusty Horse Hotel (aka Railway Hotel), 27 Railway St, Bribbaree: Arr. 11:50 (lunch booking 12:00)
