I finally got out on my ride on December 13th (the day after my birthday) AND I am now finally giving a brief ride report (before we start a new year)
The ride was just over 200Km (120miles) and it was a nice day for a ride. I decided to go on a familiar route and one which I did not think would have too much traffic. It was a Sunday so after I got home from Church I headed off at around noon and I was home around 4pm.
My route took me through Galston Gorge, along the Old Pacific Highway (the main road before the motorway was put in many years ago) where I stopped in at "The Old Road Cafe" for a quick break and a drink.
After that I headed off to Central Mangrove via Peats Ridge Road, a very nice bit of road, before turning to head for Wisemans Ferry. This section of road basically follows the Hawkesbury River and is generally an enjoyable trip but the road surface is now badly degraded making the trip less enjoyable.
Once I arrived at Wisemans Ferry I took the short vehicular ferry trip across the river (no cost for this ferry) and then headed back towards home via Cattai and Windsor.
The attached photos show one of the old wooden bridges in Galston Gorge, some of the winding road and hairpin turns in the gorge and a picture of my NT Parked at "The Old Road Cafe". There is also a picture of the view at one spot along the Hawkesbury River and two others showing the ferry arriving and my view from the front row of the ferry as I cross the river.
You can see the route I took at the following google maps link.
