Backroads to Ross – Bypassing Hobart, Tasmania
Tasmania Day 6 - Kermandie to Ross
After breakfast at the Kermandie Hotel, we met Darrel Young at the DS Cafè at Huonville for a chat about his wonderful ‘Ride the Byroads’ project. And that’s what most of our ride was about today - riding part of the Byroads (RtB) gravel route to Ross.
This was a great start to the day because the route totally bypasses Hobart. We rode through to Bushy Park then to Ouse, then more gravel to Arthur Lakes Roadhouse for lunch, and finally Interlaken Rd before a bit of bitumen to Ross.
As soon as we arrived, it was a dash to Bakery31 for a beautiful Scollop Pie and a walk around this amazing heritage town which is full of history. The people here were also ve...

Tumut to Goulburn via Wee Jasper
Просмотров 7 тыс.2 месяца назад
Wee Jasper Road - in Perfect Condition We woke in Tumut to a beautiful blue-sky-morning but waited until the temperature reached 6º at 9am to begin our back-road ride home. There were lots of road improvements on Wee Jasper Rd and it looks like the Forestry is grading its own brand new routes. It is an easy, enjoyable ride to Wee Jasper, then a nice twisty, sealed ride to Yass. However, after W...

So this became our starting point - we left home at 8am on a chilly Saturday morning, and...
Enfield Road - The Oxley Hwy to Gloucester Adventure Ride

This one probably isn’t Toni's favourite! We’ve been exploring different ways of riding from/to the Oxley Hwy to/from Gloucester. Having enjoyed Thunderbolts Way, Brackendale Rd, Knoddingbul Rd and the routes through Wingham & Comboyne, today we decided to try the Enfield Forest - Upper Yarrowitch River Rd, Enfield Rd & Enfield Range Rd. We probably wouldn’t put this in the fun basket - the rou...

Gold Coast to Tenterfield - it just kept getting better. It was time to make our way home after visiting family, staying with Mum & Dad on the Gold Coast, so we headed out early through Canungra, Beaudesert and Rathdowney where people were out in their numbers commemorating Anzac Services. Plenty of great twisty roads steered us to Maroon where we soon had the pleasure of beginning our gravel r...

Tasmania Day 8 - Launceston Loop A common statement in Tasmania - Today was one of our best riding days yet! On a beautiful blue-sky morning we headed for Ben Lomond National Park and rode the exhilarating Jacob’s Ladder. The scenery is amazing as you navigate the steep switch-backs towards the top - it was a very worthwhile experience. And getting there is another great experience because Bles...
Tasmania's Best Day Ride - the Tullah Loop - Day 3
Просмотров 1,4 тыс.6 месяцев назад
Tasmania Day 3 - Tullah Loop Today may have been our best day of riding yet! We ticked off three of Tasmania’s best twisty sealed roads - Waratah Road to Savage River (out and back) and Hellyer Gorge and finished with a favourite, Cradle Mountain Road. The icing on the cake to the ride was the bit in the middle, which included a little bit of gravel on Oonah Road which progressed to a nicely su...

Tasmania Day 2 - Stanley to Tullah Today’s riding explained a lot about why motorcyclists love riding in Tasmania. We covered a thrilling and popular gravel road and one of Tasmania’s best twisty bitumen roads. We left Stanley and headed for the Western Explorer via Roger River to ride the 80km stretch of the Wild Wild West gravel road to Corinna. This is a wide, well-graded gravel road which i...

Swallow Tail Pass from Tumut, Wee Jasper, Sapphire Rd - avoiding the Highway home
G'Day again. For the life of me I still cannot find the GPX file link on your Facebook for the ride.
Unfortunately Facebook removed the link with some incomprehensible reason. They are here: RideDay GPX - www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/cgdzmchhw36eraajm75ge/h?rlkey=hzm1jq2aqvb11ce9ytl7azpl1&dl=0
@@rideday01 Thanks for the link 👍
Terrific footage thanks - it’s on my to do list now. Do you have a maps down load? Cheers
Thanks. RideDay GPX - www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/cgdzmchhw36eraajm75ge/h?rlkey=hzm1jq2aqvb11ce9ytl7azpl1&dl=0
This place looks pretty cool, but I’m pretty concerned at the fact that the government considers this to be a C class road
We often find the ABC classifications quite strange though MacKillops has been listed amongst Australia’s most dangerous roads.
I remember having a blast on the road from Halls Gap down to Dunkeld. The high speed sweepers at 100kph (😉) were great!
We actually missed that road as we planned to do it on the way back from Adelaide. Thanks for sharing. 👍
Good video. It’s a great ride, lots of good stuff in that area. The thing that bothered me most is not keeping left on some of those blind corners. The rider in front was on the right side of the track on many right bends. Please don’t assume you are the only people on the road. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the comment. Spot on. 👍
Great Video. Really impressed at the way you keep viewers informed with road names and signage. This in turn makes it easier to navigate the routes you have taken.
Thanks. That became the main objective of our channel - to share the rides so viewers can enjoy … 😀
Love the Omeo hi way!
It’s so good!
has the road been sealed up since the video was posted 11months ago? On a sports tourer so no go on gravel road. A couple of km of gravel is ok but not for 10-30km of gravel road.
It hasn’t been sealed. It’s just well maintained as mostly gravel.
Chum crk Rd is absolutely fabulous
I agree. Just gets a little bit busier than Myers Creek. Fabulous area. 👍
I used to live in Doreen and go through Kinglake and do laps of Chum crk Rd Healsville then Myers crk Rd midweek days...to much fun😊
Great lil adventure and really enjoyable watch. Brings back memories of some really beautiful parts of the country. And you’re right…Renee’s bike sounds great! 😂👍🏁🏍️
Thanks. It was a great 3-day trip. Now hanging out for the next one. 👍
The Bonang is fully sealed now, though a bit bumpy at times south of Goongerah to Sardine Creek, then it’s pretty smooth sailing as she opens up on a nice deck into Orbost …
Bandicoot.
I have ridden most of the roads that you have mentioned in your video. Other than the ones in the Gippsland region. But roads I think your missing and I think I know the reasons they are missing. 1. Mt Buller Rd. (Speed limit ) 2. Mt Buffalo Rd. (Speed limit) 3. Whanregarwhen Rd near Alexandra 4. Yarck Rd. 5. Harry's creek Rd. 6. Euroa- Merton Rd 7. Acheron way Just to name a few but love the video.
Thanks - great comment. 😀 Hindsight tells me I should have mentioned Mt Buffalo (great rd without the peak season traffic, or very hot temperatures literally melting the bitumen on corners) and Euro-Merton Rd (great 100km/h rd, surface and twisties). There'd be heaps more to mention, some we've ridden and lots we haven't. We are always looking for new roads and now-days, gravel too, whilst a lot of people tend to do the same roads over and again. Mt Buller - long straights to get to a nice climb as an out-and-back. Haven't done Whanregarwhen or Yarck and couldn't find Harry's Creek to know if we've done it. Archeron Way (in the middle of the gold mine of roads) isn't sealed (unless that's happened recently). Interestingly, I didn't mention Baw Baw either, but that's because we didn't get inspired by it. Thanks again for the tips.
Thank for the video I did this ride buy myself on the weekend it was fantastic.
That’s great. It is a real beauty and we’re glad you enjoyed it. Did you actually do the walk up to Thunderbolts Lookout as well?
@rideday01 yes there was nobody there so I rode my bike straight up the walking track naughty me
Fantastic - love it! Thought it was a great lookout where you got to climb through it.
@rideday01 I rode down billirimba Rd from Tenterfield and they have signs up saying private property with a camera sign their trying to keep people out.
Probably rain bars not speed bumps, stop water running down the road and eroding it
love the informative commentary as we watch the amazingly beautiful unfolding ride
Thanks. We usually do a bit of research to plan rides and find that sort of info is good for others looking for similar rides. That area is amazing.
Fantastic video thanks putting it all together and editing it so well. love the way that you took the time to clearly state the roads that you road along. I’ve got two weeks holidays coming up in October away from work and this has definitely got my interest! Have subscribed to your channel. Thanks again such a great video cheers.👍🏼✅
Thanks. Definitely a premium ride in the area. I’d also recommend you check out the Deepwater to Tenterfield (last) bit of our Old Glen Innes Rd video - we really loved that ride too. Do it to/from Tenterfield.
@@rideday01 I must be missing something ... I can't seem to find the GPX file, for this ride on your Facebook page 😥
Only interested in asphalt roads now. Did my dirt biking back in the day …
We didn’t want to repeatedly ride the same roads so started to do the dirt. If you ride the VIC roads, our Victoria’s best 30 (video) may interest you.
A lot of 35s, but looks like a marvelous ride! Will be doing it for the first time on the way up to the Northern Rivers this Spring .. 🎉
Be good if they finished some of the road repairs by then. Stop off at the iconic Grey Gums Cafè. 👍
Lovely vid and thanks for the excellent production. Haven't ridden this but drove south via Wee Jasper a few years ago with the family and my oldies in our 4WDs, on our way down to the Vic High Country. It's beautiful countryside and has excellent roads, as you note. I'm currently riding a Ninja 1000 but don't mind knocking up a few kays on half decent dirt roads. When it gets a bit warmer I might have to look more closely at a ride like this! Cheers from Sydney - Dave
Thanks Dave. We have done Wee Jasper a few times and thought it was in it's best condition on this ride. It looks to be getting a lot of maintenance lately so giving the Ninja a run mightn't be out of the question. 😀
@@rideday01 Sounds great. I grew up on dirt bikes as a youngster around the Mid North Coast (Mt Bago area) and have been known to take road bikes, including my Blackbird some years ago, on very rough (and sometimes) muddy roads. Not very smart, but sometimes you find yourself with little choice! Love your videos mate and look forward to indulging in more of them. Cheers, Dave
That White Swamp Road is horrible in the wet
I could imagine. Probably as bad as Billirimba Rd (when wet). A group of 20+ riders doing an Aussie Bike or Hire ride had to turn around a little while back because it was wet and they deemed it too slippery and dangerous.
Thanks for the video. I have ridden from Canberra to Tumut via Wee Jasper on my 2007 Kawasaki KLR650. There is no fuel in Wee Jasper. After rain, the corners on dirt roads can be wet and muddy.
Thanks. Yes, you are right x 2 and slippery.
Brilliant video, great narration, pity about the music in the background!
Yes, we’ve been canning the music - looks like a better option.
Looks great, thanks for the GPX file very useful. I’ll give it a go on the way back from the Snowy Mountains in November.
Thanks. That’ll be a nice time of the year too.
Thank you for promoting Ride the Byroads. That is nice of you. Great video and it was great to catch up with both of you at Huonville that morning. You are right about supporting the local businesses like Arthur’s Lake Roadhouse, thank you. Oh cherish the Waddamana bridge photo, sadly it collapsed in March. They are replacing it but sadly not with that lovely looking suspension bridge.
Thanks Darrel. We actually saw that bridge had collapsed - I think someone posted it, perhaps on your Byroads page. A real shame!
@@rideday01 yes it was a real shame. I love the engineering that goes into building a suspension bridge, there is something about them.👌
Reefton is sketchy for Tokyo drift wankers and Casey Stoner wonna 🐝 bees
The Bridle Track is open all week. I have been down it a few times through the weeks. It's got some amazing camp spots
Yes, heaps more camping than Araluen. 👍
There was one or two I'm not sure if I've ridden on your list but would agree with them all. Order is a subjective thing, although I do agree with what I've known as the Mitta Mitta Rd being no.1. Have a look at roads around Pyalong NW of Broadford as there are some beauties there (I now live in Bendigo). I'm not sure if it should be no.31 but the Walhalla rd is also a good one, although leaf litter and tourist traffic particularly on weekends can be a downer. There are also a couple of other roads around the Grampians that are worth a good explore as well, and as I write, the road to and from Wilsons Prom can be a lot of fun. Thanks for your list.
Thanks for your comment and I'm also agreeing with everything you said. 30 seconds into the video I also list a bunch of roads that won't be mentioned and they included Wilsons Prom, Highlands Rd (near Pyalong), Tyers Rd (Walhalla), though I didn't mention Walhalla Rd nor Thomson Dam Access Rd also near Walhalla which is also great. 👍 Damn Victoria, there's just too many great roads. 😀😀
Hi - great video. I watch a lot of your stuff - and have been lucky enough to have ridden most of the roads. Hope you don't mind... I made a little spreadsheet with Google Map links to each of these rides in case others would like to pin-point their locations: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vQI3wxCO7xTFNMFTNKj6675i7RpullblH2QocfAjL36zcxqWaJz3SWtOoGM4czuibhecgTu9j5Qmo_r/pubhtml?gid=604963648&single=true
wow thanks!
Hi Ride Day, I love your videos not only because they are so well put together and interesting, but because the trip notes are so handy. Can you please tell me what editing software you use? And do you use GoPro cameras, or something else? Thanks.
Thank you. GoPro 10 and software editing Toni uses Adobe Premiere and David uses Final Cut Pro.
@@rideday01 Thanks so much for your prompt reply. I use Camtasia because I found it so easy to use, but it seems that all the pros use FCP and AP.
Beautiful ride. Trucks are a bit daunting. How’s the temperatures? Really love ur vids and the off road tracks. How do you find these roads every single trip you make has been awesome. Thnx for sharing
Thanks. This was a January ride, temperature fresh in the morning, but lovely later on. We are always looking and searching for roads to ride whether they are sealed or dirt. Sometimes just picking a place to ride to and working out if there are roads to that destination that we haven’t ridden.
Hi guys, In following along (or should I say travelling with you) I'm taken straight back to my years of exploring on bikes. Especially reminiscent of when I had my R75/5 BMW. The gorgeous tones of your two awesome bikes instantly take me back to those halcyon days (circa 1962-1976) spent riding from/to Deniliquin, traversing three states mainly, but also some longer adventures involving an attempt in the wet heading for The Alice along the Oodnadatta Track. From Sydney, via Adelaide. Then Sydney -Mt Isa -Alice Springs -Adelaide -Riverina - Bathurst -Sydney. As well as an attempt in the wet heading for The Alice along the Oodnadatta Track, again from Sydney. Thankyou for sharing these great well done videos. Always look forward to these with much pleasure. 🤠
Thanks. Sounds like you have done a lot of riding. Always enjoy getting out on the bikes and exploring new places and towns.
It is interesting to see roads that I drove over during car rallies in the late 1960's especially the Barry Way.
I guess Barry Way has changed a lot since the 60’s.
Hay mate my mother lives in Cambelltown, she used to live in Ross and prior to that Tunbridge. I’m not from from , but ridden around a lot of Tassie around 4 times .
That's interesting. I guess Campbell Town is a bit bigger than Ross to live and pretty central to the major cities.

Awesome trip and video. Thanks. But Im going to do it in my Landcruiser. I assume its public access thru private property to open and close the gates.
Thanks. Yes, a public road through private property (farmlands).
Curricabark Rd is awesome.spectacular views and scenery
Yes, one of my favourites.
The roads are purely so well maintained for the Logging trucks……..plantation pine is big industry in all that area
Yes, you're right. The sealed roads are in immaculate condition and the gravel roads seem to be always maintained. We think it looked like they are cutting in new gravel roads off Wee Jasper into the forests.
Some great country, and back roads, there boys. Personal note to self... Get off the black stuff🏍
You certainly see a lot more when not restricted to bitumen. We are glad we made the move 👍.
Great video... and ride. You have given me a few ideas, hope to get down that way. Cheers Peter
Thanks. Hope you get the chance. Great riding on the way down too....
Mesmerising ...how long would you allow for this ride please
It might take up to 2-hours to ride from Wauchope to Walcha, but we'd suggest to stop at Gingers Café which is around half way, and maybe Aspley Falls. Or maybe 80 minutes (from Wauchope) to the turn-around point, then stop at Gingers on the ride back...
It's a beautiful drive did this a few times & different times year see beauty in different ways ..
Yes, love the area - thanks.
I caught myself physically leaning into the turns while watching this. Magnificent stuff.
Thanks, really love this ride.
Wish you could put more maps up i love to drive these
There’s a gpx file for this ride in this files link; www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/cgdzmchhw36eraajm75ge/h?rlkey=hzm1jq2aqvb11ce9ytl7azpl1&dl=0
My old stomping grounds all through there ! Mainly done on an XS650
Sounds great. Hope you're still getting time to get back...
@@rideday01 Been a 'downed' rider due to life events since 2019 - five years is too long to be off the road but after I rebuild the motor [80k - camchain / runners, seals and general internal inspection] later this year - like to do 'Far Cairn' rally as my run-in ride.
You know you don't need to stand up all the time, right?
Yep, some people sit all the time, but we feel more comfortable standing because you get a better view and prefer the rear wheel to move around freely. Actually we would stand for hours and not even know it.
Many thanks for this. I'm from Canberra and looking to explore the local region - videos such as these are giving me great options for doing so. Cheers.
Thanks. Yes, Canberra is definitely close to lots of great riding.
Thanks for the video. That certainly was some beautiful country, especially along Long Gully Road and Rocky River Road. Unfortunately, I think the hills were too steep for me to consider bikepacking on my human-powered bicycle.
Thanks. I know how you feel - I used to pedal up Macquarie Pass. I do enjoy riding much more - I must admit 😀.
I'm mapping out a few prospective trips for 2025 and you're making it very difficult! What with binging on your channel, I now have so many new ideas that it's confusing the heck out of my husband!! 🤣"But I thought you wanted to do the Tenterfield hinterland?" "I do", "And the high country..." "I do!" "And now Tumut?" "Now you're getting the picture...yes" 😂
Thanks heaps. The challenge is, how to do them all. But really, keep ticking them off and enjoy yourselves. 👍
I great ride as I've come to expect. I now have a good 2 day ride from Sydney to Tumut and return on a few roads that I haven't done before. Many thanks for the effort you put into making these videos. Cheers.
Thanks. It'd be great to hear how you find the roads - enjoy!
