Tumut to Goulburn via Wee Jasper

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 Wee Jasper, out of the blue, the weather turned to heavy fog which we knew would eventually burn up and reveal that blue sky again.
Renee’s favourite Yass bakery, Clementine Bakery served up some excellent Pies for morning tea and David added another Pie to his list. We then crossed the Hume to Blakney Creek, where the gravel recommenced from Rugby Rd, Bulleys Crossing and Sapphire Rd.
This is just a simple, relaxing, back-road ride which links us back to Grabben Gullen, Goulburn and a final stop at Bundanoon.

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

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.

[@rideday01]

Thanks. It'd be great to hear how you find the roads - enjoy!

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.

[@rideday01]

Thanks. That’ll be a nice time of the year too.

Great video... and ride. You have given me a few ideas, hope to get down that way. Cheers Peter

[@rideday01]

Thanks. Hope you get the chance. Great riding on the way down too....

[@tonynichols2361]

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.

[@rideday01]

Thanks. Yes, Canberra is definitely close to lots of great riding.

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.

[@rideday01]

Thanks. Yes, you are right x 2 and slippery.

[@sneekerflogger]

The roads are purely so well maintained for the Logging trucks……..plantation pine is big industry in all that area

[@rideday01]

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🏍

[@rideday01]

You certainly see a lot more when not restricted to bitumen. We are glad we made the move 👍.
