RUN:We'll head for morning tea at Wollombi via all the backroads - through Barnsley and Wakefield Road to Freeman's Waterhole. Then we'll take Sandy Creek Road via Ellalong all the way through to Wollombi. It's north from there to Broke and then Jerrys Plains and eventually through to Denman via Doyles Creek. Two decent pubs in Denman to check out for lunch. Post lunch we'll head back south on the Golden Highway to Branxton and then turn off to Rothbury and Cessnock on the B82, then down the backway through Freeman's to home.Weather forecast currently looks good. LUNCH:Either of two pubs in Denman MEETUP LOCATION:Turn into Stockdale Drive (leads into shopping area) off the roundabout on Lake Road (the B53). You will see McDonalds on corner and then the Woolworths Caltex petrol station next to it. Assemble in the Harris Farms Car Park opposite the Caltex. Make sure you have a full tank. I'll go through some basic group riding rules. SMALL DONATION: As I have to pay Meetup to host this group, a gold coin donation thrown in at morning tea / lunchtime would really be appreciated. Thanks. IF WEATHER LOOKS BAD: I'll assess this on the day before the ride and if I decide to postpone / cancel, I'll send out the usual broadcast email and message in good time.
