Ride Leader – Phil Rylatt

65 km, Moderate Pace, Some Traffuc, Unsealed Roads, Significant Hill

Meet 10am, Bundanoon Hotel, Erith St Bundanoon

The weather was fine, but cold and smoke from household fires was fairly thick in the air. This unfortunately meant one of our group of 5 could not start the ride. Another of our stalwarts was tired (too much tour watching) and got cramp, so returned after a short while. That left 3 who struggled on through a fierce headwind to our lunch stop at Canyonleigh cafe. As usual this fabulous little cafe, in the middle of nowhere, provided excellent coffee and great food. After lunch the unsealed section of the ride proved to be excellent. The wind dropped, the sun shone and the views were stunning. The road was in great condition making it easy riding and lots of fun.

We returned to Bundanoon via Wingello and Penrose for another excellent coffee and awesome cake (so much for the diet!) at Ye Olde Bicycle Shoppe.
This is a circuit ride that will definitely be on the agenda again!

Circuit ride starting with a short but steep climb on a rough section of road and then undulating through quiet and scenic back roads to Canyonleigh.Stop at the general store for lunch. The ride then proceeds along the unsealed Inverary Road ( approx 11kms ) to Paddy River, Wingello, Penrose and return to Bundanoon.

Best suited to hybrid, touring or mountain bikes
