AWAY RIDES...

Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday,  14, 15 & 16th April 2026

Judee O'Leary is house sitting at Stanthorpe in April which is a great time to invite you all to come out again and do two days of riding with her. It's all on quiet back roads. 

The plan is to arrive in Stanthorpe on Tuesday 14th and settle into your accommodation. Self cater for the evening meal and get together for a few drinks and maybe a few songs if Terry takes his guitar.  Recommendations for accommodation are Top of the Town Caravan Park where they have caravan and tent sites plus very comfortable on site cabins if you don't have camping gear. Judee has also stayed at Murray Gardens Cottages and Motel where some BUG members may remember we did these rides in July 2021, Christmas in July it was called and again last April 2025.  They were great rides which we're looking forward to doing again! 

First day of riding is Wednesday 15th, which is the 60 klm Ballandean Loop. Reasonable amount of undulation, it is the Granite Belt after all, and it takes in Storm King Dam for a drink stop and a bite to eat. Dinner that night will most likely be at the Stanthorpe pub or RSL.

Second day's riding on Thursday 16th, is a 42 klm ride and again is on quiet back roads, but not so undulating. After the ride, those who want to can head for home but for those who wish, we can do a third day of riding, a loop that takes in Applethorpe and The Summit. This will be decided before we head out to Stanthorpe.

If you are interested please let Judee know. Love to see you there. Weather should be perfect I reckon, coolish but not too cold! 

Cheers 

Judee
