Re: Week Ride..April?
I would recommend the following roads, or at least sections of road.
'Talbingo Mountain' - Snowy Hwy from Talbingo turnoff up, I'd also recommend the Takeaway/General Store in Talbingo for a hamburger.
Elliots Way - Tumbarumba to Cabramurra
Cabramurra to Kahnkoban
Kahnkoban to Jindabyne/Cooma
Adelong to Rosewood - (becareful on this one, the logging trucks are starting to work on weekends as well as during the week)
Tumbarrumba to Jingellic
Tumbarrumba to Tumut
'Bondo Road' - Tumut to Bondo - after Bondo its dirt.

March through to mid May is usually pretty good weather wise. Late May through to September there is a high probability of ice and or snow.

Week Ride..April
Remember that Easter is the first weekend in April this year so double de-merits etc in NSW.
Weekend after could be good for me.
Some good roads to add to the impressive list from B12:
Snowy Mtns Highway from Adaminaby to Kiandra. Will tie in withthe Elliot Way, Cabramurra / Khancoban route.
Goulburn to Bathurst come back through Tuena to Crookwell and across to Boorowa.
The Bonang Highway from Bombala to Orbost - some dirt but made up for it by some awesome twisties. I use this route to or from Phillip Island. Another from Bomala would be the Mt Imlay Rd.
The Tintaldra pub is good place for an overnight stop.

Re: Week Ride..April?
On our PI trip we went via Tarago and Bungendore. Not too bad from memory and anything beats a Highway
Re: Week Ride..April?
Had a bit of a look. From goulburn will head down Braidwood Rd and Tarago Rd.
Also when i hit Braidwood on day 2 on the way home, instead of following Kings Hwy all the way back ill turn off and head along Captains flat rd.
