"Rides us country folk don't hear about." I'd certainly like to know more ... but I think it is up to me to get out and explore this place? Or you?
Like close to our Nation's Capital? Where I found that the back of the signage ... is far more realistic than what the Nanny State dictates on the front.
... or on the planet's busiest country roads? ... where all dry or shallow turbid creeks are called Deep Creek?
I like riding on back-country roads. I like what I find. I like that each day, can be surprisingly different ...
but I don't like forgetting that meadow cakes, batter spatter bidons.
Or that other things happen. Like when I felt a touch rusty, riding up Tunnel Road on the Hume and Hovell.
Warren.
PS, If you ride these 4 country routes, my favourites, I hope to cross your path someday. The Bicentennial National Trail, the BNT alternate bike routes, any SE highway that has a broad shoulder and the Hume and Hovell Track, on the alternate H&H bike route.
PSS, ... and don't overlook the TSRs. There is a lot to enjoy, when observing the working life of rural Australia.
