Update 11 March 2026: Return route to be confirmed on day – likely dependent on availability of petrol in Crookwell and Boorowa – see below for return route options.
Why not join the Club for a longer twisty, uphill and downhill Saturday ride to Trunkey Creek, for lunch at the Black Stump Hotel (approx. 450 km return ex. Sutton bakery)? If you’d prefer a shorter ride, then why not join the first leg of the ride through to Crookwell for coffee (183 km return)?
Outbound: Little Sutton Bakehouse (meeting/set-off point) to Gunning, Grabben Gullen, Crookwell (coffee/rest stop at Matts Bakery Cafe), then onto Binda, Tuena and through to the Black Stump Hotel at Trunkey Creek (178 km): https://maps.app.goo.gl/TAfXySG6iNoHnaUY9
