MID WINTER RIDE
FRIDAY 24 TO SUNDAY 26 JULY 2026 - GRAFTON/DORRIGO
Join us for a 3 day ride and enjoy the cooler weather and great roads of northern NSW.

Day 1 - Friday 24 July - we will leave from MacDonalds Beaudesert (8am for 8.30am departure) and ride via Casino and the Bruxner Highway to Tenterfield for lunch, followed by an afternoon ride via the Gwdir Highway and Gibralter Range to Grafton where we will stay at the Crown Hotel/Motel on the picturesque Clarence River overnight (other accommodation options - Quality Inn or Abbey Motel Grafton).

Day 2 - Saturday 25 July - we will ride via Glenreagh and Nanaglen (with the possibilit of a morning tea detour to Ulong and the Cafe in the Valley if weather permits) to Coffs Harbour and then to Bellingen (stopping for late lunch if needed) followed by a ride up the range to Dorrigo and then (for those who are keen) to Ebor and return to Dorrigo where we will stay the night at the Heritage Hotel/Motel (alternative - Frontier Motel).

The highlight of the Dorrigo stay will be the chance to meet and socialise with Ducati Owners Club NSW riders who will also be staying for the night.

Day 3 - Sunday 26 July - Ride home at your own leisure - the suggested route will be the Nymboida Road back to Grafton and the Summerland Way north to home.

Book your own accommodation. There is limited accommodation available at the Heritage Hotel so book ASAP.
