Monaro Highway

[Redmohawk]

Anybody ridden the Monaro Highway in vic lately ? If so whats the trafic like road conditions etc. On the map it looks nice to ride.

Yep,after the Superbikes in feb,from Cann River to Cooma,the road was fine with about 2ks of road works,no dramas,didnt see any boys in blue either.

it's not the most exciting road in the world. has a few nice bits but there is a lot of straightish bits too. Jules and I went up that way to NFR.

So not so fun on a bike ? to open and no so twisty ? I have business that way soon , might take a bike I thought is all.

yeah bit straight... i might be a bit of a hater though because i've gone up and down it probably 100 times (when i lived in canberra i used to come down home about every week or so) a lot of the bits would be fun at very high speeds, but at anything close to legal they're a bit too straight. nice scenery though.

come to WA youll learn to appreciate any bend haha

Why the fuck would you go that way when one of the best roads in Australia is just to the left of it?

Yea there's some dirt but fuck it's worth it! Did it in February again for the 2nd time and I'd do it again tomorrow if I lived down that way.

This is where I'm going, reason I'm going is I'd like to live there ! 1m of rain a year and not to many days above 35 deg about the same below 1 deg.

i've never been there Si... might have to hit it up.

Drop in on your way through Bairnsdale Adam. might even join you for part of it depending on the day.

As I said Trav, if you're scared of gravel you mgiht get upset. It was around 15k worth in the middle if I remember rightly, BUT it's 110k of the best twsity logging track you'll ever ride apart from that. Even if you just go to the gravel bit in the middle you'll get the experience. It starts at Orbost and goes to Delegate. Even after that it's awesome long sweepers.

I'm not scared of shit. i'll ride on anything :D
