Sunday Ride - 19 July

At this stage (fingers crossed), I look OK for this Sunday. I am thinking that I might ride down to the new Road Warriors site to meet up with you Sydney lads. Then I can ride back to the Hunter, enjoy the lunch and head home from there. If we could give an approximate rendevous time at Warriors (whatever the new name is) then I'll aim to be there to shake hands!!

Hi Everyone,

I just spoke to Stew and Ed and we have decided to meet up at the Pie In The Sky at 9.30 on Sunday, because everyone knows that place.

Ed will ride by the Mobil Petrol Station at Berowra then meet us in PITS.

AJ, I don't know the Warior place you mentioned, but some of us must know and we'll meet you there if it's easier for you.

I am leaving Sydney at 8 with Stew, so I would say we should be in the PITS between 9am - 9.30.

Hopefully before 9.30 so I have time for cuppa coffee and a pie,,,, LOL.

I will give you a call when I get there, if you are there first you can give me a call. If I don't answer, I must be on the ride.

See you all soon.

which way will you be coming up so we can meet you guys somewhere. Will you be coming through Cessnock or via Wollombi.

Maybe Cessnock would be faster, don't you think...?

via Cessnock on the way up

Wollombi on the way home

What do you guys say ? If we agree to this how about meet at PITS at 9am for 9.30 departure

and 10am meet at twin Caltex (nth bound) for 10.15am departure

Should get us to pokholbin before 12 for lunch 2pm departure going home via Wollombi ( maybe a quick drink stop )

and then either the old Road warriors cafe or straight home ?

Just a thought

Aj

I'm up for what ever. Harry will meet you first we will definately be at PITS before 9am.
Cuppa and head off from there.

Sounds great AJ..!

Look froward to catching up with you.

Sorry guys, where is PITS and where is the pie in the sky?

If I'm coming from the Blue Mountains where will I be meeting you guys?

I checked the map and I'm pretty sure I can find my way easy to the Mobil at Berowa, but now the meeting/departure place keeps changing

Hi Allan,

You will meet Ed at the Mobil station at Berowra and then Stew and I will wait for you guys at the Pie In The Sky.

Stew and I will ride by the Mobil anyway and if you are there we will stop and if you are not there yet then we will meet at the PITS (Pie In The Sky).

See you Sunday.

Ok, sounds like a plan!

I will be there before 9:00am

See you all then

Hopefully I will be able to make it for the ride, if not all then some of the way at least!! Will aim for Mobil before 9am and then PITS for a wake up coffee...

Cam

Okay guys the plan as i read it is

Ed, Allan & Cam to meet at mobil Berowra and head to P.I.T.S by 9am

Harry & Stew to join up at P.I.T.S by 9.30am

Adam, Paul and other Northerners at Caltex twin servo's nth bound by 10am

The balance of the hunter crew at Mcdonalds Cessnock by 11am

Onwards to Pokholbin for lunch and a few drinkies.

As no-one has agreed on the return route I'm recomending via Wollombi but
going the reverse of the way we came is an option or through Newcastle and back
down the coast via Swansee etc.....

If i've stuffed anything up please correct me.

Harry i'll ring you at about 9.30am to confirm all is on track.

Cya all in the morning

Aj

Good to see you have a definite plan after all! Well done Aj

I'll be at Cessnock McDonalds ready to go by 11:00am. That's a little over an hour from my place, so I'll leave home by 09:30 to give myself plenty of time to get there and drink down a coffee by 11:00. Look forward to meeting you all.

On another thread we touched base about the prospect of an overnight trip in the next month or two. I'll bring my "motorcycle atlas" of the best 200 Australian rides so we can get our heads together and plan a preliminary route while we eat lunch. Safe riding lads. Just remember, there are plenty of crotch-rockets on the OPH on Sundays and several police cars looking for them.

Well almost 8am and i'm assuming that most of you have left for our ride or at least getting ready.
Its a predicted 20'c today sun is out birds are singing so lets bloody ride

Aj

Well it is sunny and the birds are singing but unfortunately I have had to cancel. See you all on the next one though! Hope you all have a fab and fun ride and enjoy the early spring weather!

Sorry you couldn't make it Cam.

Well a great day was had by all, I finally had the opportunity to meet
Stew, Ed, Rudy, Pirtek, Cocko, Dale9251, and another Ian with a awesome
1700 Voyager. Harry & Paul was great to see you both again too!
Meeting at the twin servo's on the F3 we headed to Cessnock, then to Pokholbin,
with lunch at ? Harrigans irish pub. Onto Broke for fuel and a group photo and
then to Wollombi for a quick stop before say good bye to the northerners and
started to head home. I was going to meetup with the rest of you at the old
Road Warriors cafe but i was getting a bit cold and tired so headed back to the freeway and home.

Thanks to all for a great day riding and look forward to the next time we meet up.

Aj

Aj

Hey great pics, thanks Rudy for riding ahead really like the photos

Did anyone end up going to the old Road Warriors site? I was wondering what is there now?

Yeah mate we were the last ones there in the arvo.
Still looks pretty much the same just a new name, Mt White cafe I think
