Wollombi to Bucketty

No Photos

Sealed Road improved, smoother, good twisties, 2 lanes with lines

Bucketty to St Albans

35 Kms of gravel road, not bad for gravel, some corrugations, (got it all) up hill, down hill, twisties and straights, great scenery, a few four wheel drives came through, lots of dust from them (they don't slow for you)

Camera is now flat so heading home through Pit Town to Singleton via the Putty Road and blow the dust off.

Great Run, The GTR1400 handled the gravel really well, speeds averaged between 25 and 70 ks as the gravel surface allowed.
