Ride leader Scott has passed on the following message for those interested in taking this Sunday's ride (1 November '20)
"Several of the roads in the Kosciuszko National Park are still closed following bushfire damage last year, so the options for riding through the Snowy Mountains are limited. The truly magnificent Alpine Way between Khancoban and Thredbo is open, and this road is the raison d’être for Sunday’s ride. For those who haven’t traversed the Alpine Way, it has 75 km of endless tight corners through alpine forest, reaching an altitude of 1580 m, on a road surface which is almost universally excellent.
The ride starts and ends with highway travel, but the section from Gundagai to Khancoban has lots of sweeping bends as well as glorious scenery; forests, mountains, apple orchards, and the pastures of the Upper Murray Valley.
The ride is quite long at 600 km, but I’ve planned enough stops for everyone to stay refreshed. ETA in Canberra on return is around 6 PM. Please get in touch with me if you have any questions about the ride. If you’re planning to come along, I’d really appreciate a quick message so that I have an idea of numbers.
