Two R3's with a few other buddy's will be in Canberra May 11 and 12 - any thoughts on some good rides down that way. Gotta take in some of the local scenery.
 
Mt Stromlo Observatory with coffee to start the the day and check the landscape and views. Then Cotter Rd Uriarra Crossing loop, then back to Cotter Rd for a loop South to Tidbinbilla Tracking Station where they got the 1st images of the moon landing - interesting CSIRO NASA operation with museum with moon rock and Apollo 11 spacesuit etc.Good kiosk restaurant for lunch. Take at least half a day if you stop and check some views. 30kmh corners a plenty up to 180kmh sweepers. Take it easy on week ends despite high number of w/e riders some do come unstuck and unforgiving countryside.

That weekend I will be in Batemans Bay with @HansO at the 2019 Australian Triumph RAT rally

Then there is a beautiful ride up Mountain Ck Rd to Wee Jasper where they have caves but NO FUEL. I did a loop from there to Tumut around MT Kosciusko to Cooma and back to Canberra. But The dirt from Wee Jasper to Tumut is shocking and I dropped my Roadster so do not try that. Another motorcyclist was found dead on a timber one lane bridge near Wee Jasper last week so take care. The good sealed road to and from Wee Jasper should keep the corner chasing folks happy.

Again starting with coffee at Mt Stromlo Observatory out to Wee Jasper and back to Canberra CBD in 3-4 hours with stops etc.
