31/7 - Macquarie Pass + Kangaroo Valley Adventure Ride
Have you ever wanted to tackle the infamous Macquarie Pass and beautiful Kangaroo Valley?
Are you preparing for Three Peaks Gold Coast and need a last minute prep ride?
Or do you just really like hurting yourself?
Well...this ride is for you!
**UPDATE*** - Please re-read the below details, the meeting location and route have changed to accommodate the closure of Mt Keira Road and safety concerns near Kiama.
**Warning this is a very tough ride, designed to emulate close to what you would experience in 3 Peaks**
We will be DRIVING from the post office square, leaving at 5am from the usual spot heading towards the bottom of Macquarie Pass on the Illawarra Highway. We're driving to get the most amount of unique riding in as possible and also avoids negotiating scheduled track work that weekend.
You will need to arrange your own transport there by either driving yourself or teaming up with someone who is. When posting your name to say you're coming, please also indicate if you can take others. i.e Jarrad S (2/4 spots) meaning two of a possible four spots are taken.
We will meet at the carpark at the bottom of Macquarie Pass and head straight up it.
We will then go through Robertson, Fitzroy Falls, down Barrangarry, through to the Kangaroo Valley Pie shop for our first stop.
We then head over Wattamolla into Berry (more food) back over Berry Mountain (East), back through Kangaroo Valley and up Barrengarry, back through Fitzroy Falls and Robertson.
**first bail-out point**
From here those wishing to bail out will go down Mac Pass back to the cars. The others will go down Jamberoo Pass to then go up and down Saddleback Mountain.
**Last bail-out point**
Those wishing to bail-out can go through the town of Jamberoo back to the cars. The others will go up Jamberoo Pass then down Mac Pass to the cars, then we're done.
Get excited!

Jarrad,
I can't assume anything yet, though I am keen. I'll add my name if and when I can. Looks like an awesome ride.
