I have been out on the road for the past week or so checking out some locations for future club rides.
I have had a few considerations to look out for such as accommodation, roads in and out and distances from major centres.
I should say that I have done this entirely of my own accord and the other Admins didn't know what I was up to so I'll wear any flack that may ensue.
I was trying to find somewhere central to most members and unfortunately we can't cater for the NT, WA and TAS members unless they want to do a long distance trip.
The current venues have been Jindabyne for about 5 trips and Nymboida for 4 trips plus the Qld'ers do a lot of weekend stayovers.
These have all been great runs except for the bad weather that is impossible to predict around the snowies.
I have not considered specific hoon type loops or other matters for this trip because the idea is to get there and back home with a group of mates and then relax, meet and party with the other members once at the destination with maybe a day out doing the local tourist traps.
Ok here are my suggestions.
Bathurst, Dubbo and Griffith.
Bathurst is always a great destination and is not far away from most members in NSW and is about halfway between QLD and VIC and a similar distance from SA depending on where in QLD you may live.
Bathurst of course has the Mountain track and racing museum.
Dubbo has tons of accommodation and the roads in and out from most directions are pretty good plus it has the Western Plains Zoo for a popular day out attraction.
I have included Griffith due to its location, although it is further away for the QLDers, it is much closer to the SA members who don't get out to see us much. There are lots of vinyards and other attractions in and around Griffith and the roads are real cannonball run material from all directions.
It may sound like a long way away but I just did the trip out and back from Newcastle (830Ks in each direction) in a comfortable day each way. Maybe not comfortable if you are two up though.
Anyway, I'll attach a poll to gauge interest in the suggestions.
Timing would possibly be around mid MAY or alternately mid SEPTEMBER.
