Keen to see out Autumn and welcome in Winter on a scenic run through rural towns/villages in Central West NSW? Then join the Club for an overnight ride on a mix of winding, sometimes twisty and hilly (with the odd hairpin), sometimes flatter and straighter, sealed roads through Crookwell, Trunkey Creek, Neville, Canowindra, Eugowra and onto Parkes for the night (346 km).

Outbound Saturday (overnighting in Parkes) and returning Sunday via Manildra, Cudal, Cargo, Canowindra, Woodstock, Wyangala and Boorowa (362 km).

Short on time or prefer a shorter ride? Then why not join the first leg of the ride through to Crookwell for coffee (185 km return)?

Outbound TS (31/5): Ex. Little Sutton Bakehouse (1 Victoria St, Sutton)-Gundaroo-Gunning-Grabben Gullen-Crookwell (coffee Matt's Bakery Cafe/refuel)-Tuena-Trunkey Creek-Hobbys Yards-Barry-Neville (lunch at Neville Hotel)-Mandurama-Canowindra-Eugowra-Parkes (346 km): Google Maps  

Outbound GS breakout (31/5): Same as for TS route Sutton to Crookwell and Neville to Parkes (342 km): Google Maps

• Crookwell to Tuena via Peelwood Rd (gravel section)
• Trunkey Creek to Neville via Trunkey Rd (gravel section)

Return TS (1/6): Ex. Parkes-Manildra-Cudal-Cargo-Canowindra-Woodstock-Wyangala-Boorowa (362 km): Google Maps

Approximately 700 km return (to/from Sutton) on a mix of sealed main, secondary and minor roads. Expect some damaged road surfaces.
