Hello again, since last time I said hello I have traveled 7000km on my new Ducati, although still some short rides on the Nexus and also the Kawasaki... but yesterday I had a lovely Nexus ride, here we have summer which only started on January 1st with 36C temps. before this it's been often cold, rainy and stormy...
Here's a little story and pics from my nice ride....
the route...
A perfect morning for a ride south. After going down along the freeway (F?) it got a little cool, stopping here at the Cliff Hanger Lookout to put some more gear on and continue south to Kiama.
After about an hour I get off the freeway onto Swamp Road into some of the most beautiful countryside, apart from the hills it reminds me of when I lived in Holland ;virtually all winding roads rough in some areas, but on every side is a never ending of lush green pastures and beautiful hills!
After passing through the town of Jamberoo, I turned into Jamberoo Mountain Road, this time the views changed into covered rainforest canopy but as you climb higher the vegetation changes and views of the east coast meadows are brilliant. (here's a sample of the roads, but not my pic Jamberoo Mountain Road
Here I’m parked under a rather large tree where I met up with some other riders on 2 BMWs and a Husaberg, the view you can see is right in front of the Nexus !
Ending Jamberoo Mountain Road at the Pie Shop at Robertson, on top of Macquarie Pass, I travel a little down the Pass and take a turnoff into Tourist Road, the panorama shot is a little rough, but a nice shot I think.
Tourist Road, then Ridge Road, Range Road into Old South Road took me through gum forests, farmlands of pastures and a wonderfully hilly area such behind Mittagong, always fun!
Pic of the lovely Nexus in the gum forests along Tourist Road, with the barks stripping off the gums enriching the effect of the smooth white trunks, and with butterflies everywhere it added to the highlights of the day, started the morning in 20C ending around 1pm at about 32C degrees!
This ending the photo’s for the day as by then I came back into my usual ride areas of Colo Vale, Hilltop, Picton and back home. 262kms on one lovely Nexus , one brilliant ride!!
All the pics are from my Nokia phone, the trusty camera needs renewing!!
