Like riding through NSW’s Hilltops and Weddin Mountains regions? Then why not join the Club for a Sunday back roads ride to historic Grenfell, for lunch at the Criterion Hotel (224 km)? Prefer a shorter ride – then join us for the first leg through Rye Park to Boorowa for coffee (110 km)?

GS Riders: For those keen on a gravel/dirt route/detour, you’re more than welcome to join us en route, or at the Pub.

Register if you're interested in coming so I can let the Pub know likely numbers for lunch. Please email rides@bmwmcc.au if you plan to meet the group on the way or at the Pub (and it isn’t already identified on your registration), or head elsewhere after coffee in Boorowa.
