Give me a day or two to think about it. The most obvious is the Old Road but it's not the best road to be having fun on a Sunday morning.

I know a couple of other ways up there but getting there in two hours from Thornleigh could be tough. Guess this means I need to work out where the end point is....

I'll keep you posted

OK, here goes. This is the first option that springs to mind.

Google Maps Directions here

Have done this route a number of times on the bike (though always did the Old Road to Calga rather than the Freeway). It is a fairly direct route and I'd say would add 30-45 minutes to the journey providing no-one gets lost. Some good fun open stuff on Peats Ridge Rd and leading up to the right turn into Springs Rd at Kulnura.

Only negative for mine is that the road down into Yarramalong is pretty gnarly (tight, narrow, bumpy). It would be tough on brakes too I would imagine. That and the time frame we are working with

Comments?

I'll keep thinking about other routes too

for the people that are meeting @ live in the morning i reckon we meet @ the hjz cabra instead (its right next to kkz) so we can wash cars if we like while waiting for every1 then once we are all ready we head out... my opinion lol..
