That road is breaking up pretty bad mate. Was sealed over a very damp base and its lifting in sections........

They must have contracted the NSW RTA to do the work.....

shit already? that must have been before the snow season which i heard on radio today road is closed till end of october because of snow hate to see condition of it then anyway was just a thought,open to other suggestions for a ride.cheers rick

I have just returned from a 1700k trip around the alpine region, by far the worst road is the newly UNSEALED road form Omeo to Falls Creek which is more like a gravel road, it would have to improve a whole lot before I ever travel that one again.

Have a good ride though chris?

Im hanging out for my annual alpine 4-dayer in feb. Will be my first time on the bandit, cant wait

It was sensational Spence, we headed off last Saturday morning, Yarra Valley, Gippsland, stopped in Maffra to check out the auto museum then spent the night in Bairnsdale. Next day straight up the great alpine road, Omeo to Falls Creek then onto Mt Beuaty where we stayed for the rest of the week. From there we did day rides, Hume Weir, Mt Buffalo, Lake Buffalo, Mt Hotham, we went the other way back, Whitfield, Tolmie, Mansfield, Alexandra, Healesville then home, the Bandit performed perfectly.

good to hear. I cant wait to put some proper miles on her

great to hear your trip up here was good and thanks for the heads up on the falls omeo road? will scratch that one off the list,prob would have been kicking the lycra brigade tools out of the way on it anyway. rick.

Why didnt you call??? Number's in my sig (should be) I could have ridden part of the way with you. Hope you did the Bengworden Rd to Bairnsdale

For anyone else riding through this way give me a yell. May not always be able to make it but I'm not opposed to showing people my riding patch

We had intentions of going that way, but the fast option route to the pub won over. Thanks for the offer, will give you a call next time we are down your way, cheers, Chris.

Great trip Chris, had a similar trip planned this year that got cancelled unexpectedly, was going to stay in Bright and do trips from there.
Would like to see some ride pics if you have any?
