59. Thunderbolt (Crash Site) Revisted

For those who have been following my blog, you would already know I recently crashed on Thunderbolt way about 20kms before Walcha and a long way from home. Not exactly a plesant experience.

Anyways... I decided to get back on the bike and re-do the trip again... but this time finishing up on my bike instead of the chopper.

Route: Sydney - Putty Road - Dungog - Gloucester - Walcha - Port Macquarie - Anna Bay - Sydney
Total Distance: 1,136kms

We started the morning reasonably early and headed towards Thunderbolt. Here's some of the amazing scenery down Dungog and into Gloucester.

The trip to the crash site was not what I would call fun and the road condition on Thunderbolt way is terrible - must have been bolted by thunder so many times the surface is an absolute shocker! But still, it was a worthwhile trip. It was beautiful up that way.

We arrived at my crash site around 2pm and "surprisingly", they now have a rough surface sign which wasn't there before.

And for the second time round, I FINALLY made it to the Oxley! I started off the 35km/hr corners very poorly but once I got into the groove of things, the riding picked up and the fun began! I absolutely enjoyed the road. If you have never been here, it is definitely worth the visit at least once!

We arrived in Port Mac slightly later than expected and had dinner at The Corner restaurant. Food was AMAZING - especially their toasted cheese and truffle sandwich!!

I was pretty tired by 8pm and we both decided to call it an early night.

Day 2 was the coastal road home and sand boarding in Anna Bay! It was so much fun!!!

I finished this trip with the biggest smile on my face! Looking forward to the next adventure...
