GOR down to near Wye River, then up up up the Wye River road until eventually meeting the Mt Sabine road. Newly graded, so no potholes or ruts, but plowing through thick loose stones for 5km or more. Down the Erskine Falls road back to Lorne
I’d met and passed a couple of cycle tourists just out of Lorne, heading for Kennet river and chatted for a while – felt bad later as I told them that the Mt Sabine road was a viable option for them coming back, no idea if they came up that way the next day or what they thought of my advice if they did. My first thoughts were to go up the Wye River, down the Mt Sabine and Grey River roads to Kennett River, then back along the coast, but it took ages to climb up to the Mount Sabine road and a glance at the map showed around 10km to Kennet River and 15km back to Lorne, so that’s the way I went instead… and then encountered the recent gradings
Still, a wonderful afternoon out in the forest, if a little tiring and slightly more than I’d intended
