Canberra weekend away to ride!
Hi there,
I thought I'd take the bull by the horns and sort some things out for myself. I know I don't know anyone here yet but this seemed like a good way to meet people and combine the kind of rides I know I can do! Is anyone interested in doing a weekend away in Canberra to ride in Majura, Sparrow Hill or Stromlo? A whole weekend is plenty of time to fit in quite a few different sites. And with the hot weather at the moment, the idea of riding in the cool pine forests is very attractive.
I was thinking of a weekend late in Feb or early in March if others are keen but I don't have any date set in my mind. Make a suggestion! I will probably head down there on a Friday night to get started early on Sat morning to make the most of it and head back Sunday afternoon, not too late. I have camping gear so could either do the whole nature thing or pamper my soreness after the ride with a motel/hotel.
So if anyone is keen, let me know and we can go from there based on others' suggestions or interests.

some cheap accommodation in Canberra for just this thing. However, I think he was planning on March / April. Canberra at this time of year is hotter than Sydney most days of the week and I don't know that the pine forests will give much respite.
I will chase him up and see where he is at with this.

What a co-incidence. This Canberra ride came up in conversation today, in fact. It sounds like it would be a great ride. I heard good things about Sparrow Hill as well.
I could be tempted on this. But will wait for the details. Good idea though!!
Yes, Stuart is right, I will organize something for end of March beginning of April, as I'm away from the 16 Feb to 14 March.
One of my clients has a townhouse in Canberra, which sleeps about 10, plus 2 3 seater couches!!!
We can stay there, if we fill up the fridge with beer!!!, well at a very moderate rate.
I will put the details on, after my return.

Will look forward to hearing some plans.
Hi Bernd!
sounds like a great plan! Can't you skip Germany and the US
?
But I guess temperature wise it's better later anyway and looking forward to sth is always great!
Cheers

Yes, Great plan, No I won’t skip US (Harley Ride in LA and NY…) or Germany (see friends, parents, skiing ….BEER!!!!!)
