i remember regretting not bringing my bike there when we drove around the banana plantation. there was a long tourist drive i will ride next time we're up there.
if we can wing an accommodation up that way then its prob better riding than the definite soaking wet down south.

big climb to begin with and seem like it went on forever in the car. then its a long tourist drive .. very quite when we went - no shoulders but can be ridden.
apart from that we didn't do any other tourist drive. we can explore around I guess.

BOM have just issued a new forecast at 16.35. Looks like the wet weather system has been moving north more slowly than they were predicting couple of days ago.
The forecast for Snowy area is actually a bit better than before though certainly still not great. Early start sat might let us get bulk of a ride in before rain sets in. PM Friday could be OK. as could Sunday AM.
I'm still up for it but my situation is different from you guys so do not let me influence any group decision.

too wet for me
i dont fancy a 5hr ride each way in the wet to sit in a pub or watch tv all day.
So i am OUT
If a miracle happens in the next few hrs and the forecast says SUNNY for sat then i will chance my mind, bit for now i am staying put.
Have a good ride and be safe.
p.s Greg, i will give you my portion of the accomodation when i see you next

Can't let him do it on his own I guess and let all this planning go to waste
Last weekend would have been perfect Who did we shift weekends for again
