    Hi Guys

    I went for a ride today down the GO road, great weather and a great ride, but if you are thinking of going there in the next couple of weeks, watch out for the loose stones from the roadworks that they were doing today at Moggs Creek, for around 4 corners, Cumberland river about 300m, and a couple of klms before Wye river. it's not hot mix either just the bitumen with 20mm stones on top and rolled in.

    Used to ride GOR heaps years ago, then they put lines down the middle and changed most of it to 60 and 80 and wrecked a sensational road......

    Sort of like a remembrance drive..
