Errinundra - Snowy 2007 April 11-14 2007

Mountains, rivers forests and sea.

One hundred and thirty bikes and riders, 32 volunteers, 23,000 litres of water, 4 trucks, 10 support vehicles, 5 community catering teams and countless hot drinks later, the Errinundra - Snowy 2007 has been wrapped up.

The bare statistics don't convey the tang of eucalypts, a paddock full of tents emerging through the morning mist; riders jokes and encouragement going up a long hill; the silence and solitude of finding yourself alone beside a 600 year old tree in mountain rainforest; the downhill rush; warming hands around early morning coffee with new lifelong comrades.

Day 1. Bonang to Errinundra, 25km.  Disappear into the forest: shining gum, fern, sassafras and snow gum will enfold you as you ride gradually up to our private campsite where our campsite crew will welcome you.

Day 2. Errinundra to Goongerah, 70 km.  Explore the hidden secrets of Errinundra. Dip down to the Queensborough River before traversing the edge of the escarpment with the Brodribb River valley below you. Freewheel for 10 glorious kilometres down to our welcoming campsite.

Day 3. Goongerah to Cabbage Tree, 63 km.  Conquer the challenge of Mt Jack to be rewarded with views from the sea to the mountains. Reap gravity's reward as you cruise endlessly down through lush forest, to celebrate with your many new found friends.

Day 4. Cabbage Tree to Orbost, 65 km.  The mountains behind you, the sea ahead. Banksias, heathland and teatree surround your ride through coastal forest to the sea. Ocean and river are never far from view as you follow them back to Orbost.

The ride uses vehicular forest tracks that vary from all weather formed gravel roads to rough 4WD only tracks. Some tracks can have loose rocky surfaces, forest litter, soft sand or slippery mud in sections. Fifty km of the route is on quiet sealed roads.
