Maybe Some Snowy Ride Info Worth noting.

Elliot Way & Cabramurra, NSW Snowy mountains.

Elliot Way/Cabrumurra report. Manage a nice 500km ride yesterday, from Wagga to Corryong, via Elliot Way and Cabramurra. (8hrs) Here is a review of what we found and offer our opinions about the ride. Wagga to Tumbarumba via Gregadoo.... still a goat track. (We refuelled at Tumbarumba)...

Thanks Vince, did you learn anything? I think its stuff we already know / have done.

 

[Vince]

90% yes, but there was a couple of obscure references and that's what we need, some unridden surprises would be good. This bit doesn't ring any bells.


Another road us locals love, if you have time, is when you get to Tumbarumba, head to Rosewood and turn right onto Broadleaf Park road / Greenhills Access road, follow this road to Wondalga, then onto Tumut.

 

[martymoose]

We've done that twice now Vince, pretty sure you where there

 

[Dellortoman]

You guys are going to have to relocate so you can find some new roads.

 

[Vince]

I wish I had logged where we have been and rated the routes, so many roads and so many years. There must be some we have missed

 

[Andy]

The road from Raetihi to Whanganui is very good

 

[Vince]

Are there any dead trees close to the road? NZ would be amazing, but just Tassie was hard enough after that tree incident.

When I was a kid they started a new high school in our town in Australia, Whanganui High.

Makes me wonder, WTF has the name Whanganui got to do with a country town in Victoria???

CK, you sure that wasn’t Wunghnu

 

[chrisk]

No, my grandparents had a dairy farm at Wunghnu, between Tallygaroopna and Numurkah.

 

[hooksey]

I thought they had a sheep farm with one ewe.......

 

[Vince]

These places have strange names, they should be sensible names like Wee Waa.

One ewe was a Mexican sheep farmer.

as it may be of use, from a snowy gp, 2001 from memory, thats a laugh "memory" my mind has little...grin.

 

[chrisk]

The bloke up the back with the white T-shirt is me standing next to Woody, but have no idea where that picture was taken. Oh, oh…. Tarthra pub night, everyone there was pissed a newts! And we were racing on those coin operated GP bikes, good fun until I fell off, literally.

 

[iis_iis]

My minds infallibility ( yer right ), says was at Bright pink hotel/motel, indeed Tathra had the usual suspects, meeting of the minds, tour leader suggests route, Victoria mob object, tour leader says ( paraphrasing ) "if you want to take the Soft male genitalia" route that is your choice...tell you to be alive at times is a definite plus.... ok Chrisk we have met? j.

 

[breganzane]

Mad-eyes Vena, front and centre and looking for trouble! Looks like a good night. I reckon Bright too, given the presence of a few Vicco's (AntsC left rear by the look of it). I think this was the legendary DaveR "nuclear socks" incident. I recall a lot happening that night (not unusual given those present...) but fortunately for those implicated, have forgotten the details.

 

[mauricejota7604]

Yep that's a young looking Vena and definitely Ants rear left he still wears the same shirt combination!!
