Adventure Moto Ride
Each year, with the support of Adventure Moto, there is a ride from the Sydney Area to the Scrapheap destination. This year Warren Sakey has come up with another great route. If you have any questions or to arrange to meet up along the way call Warren on 0438 285 366.
Big shout out to Steve and Adventure Moto once again for their generous support. www.adventuremoto.com.au. This year we will be departing from Wisemans Ferry October 3rd around 8am for a 3-day journey to Pooncarie.

Day 5

Day 8
Oct 10: Forbes to Sydney – Find your own way home
This return ride is pretty flexible, and we will have support vehicles following us. As people will peel off to make their own way home at various stops.
Please Note:
The Ride is not compulsory. You are to have a current licence and registered vehicle, as it is on gazetted public roads.
As we are riding country roads, the road conditions can change. Road surfaces range from bitumen, dirt road of gravel, corrugations, sand and bulldust.
There are tar only options to get to Pooncarie. Please ride to your ability. If there is rain closer to the event the route may change.
Accommodation
On the Ride to and from Pooncarie, you can book your own accommodation.
Accommodation at Pooncarie is Camping only. There is plenty of camping on the banks of the river near the Golf Course and we will have a food marquee there as well. The campground has approximately 6 powered sites. Hot showers are $2.00.
Scrapheap T-shirts
We have had to order some additional M, L & XL shirts and these will be sent out once we receive them.
We have additional T-shirts available, also in kids sizes. Simply go to the Riders Area and click the appropriate box.
