  • Lithgow (NSW)

  • Lithgow is a small town with Historical and Geographical sites such as the ZIG ZAG Railway and reasonable priced accom. A good place for a nice relaxing night before the ride. I haven't done this on the bike. But the story goes lke this just as we made the Bellspocket Line of Rd we were overtaken by a Landrover V8 Styleside twin cab. We thougth he looked like he was in a hurry and as we caught him it seemed he also knew the road. Pretty handy I thought anyway I couldn't scare him out of the way so I fell in behind him and enjoyed the local knowledge, what a treat. This guy must go to work this way, he never missed a corner and I was draggin an 02 WRX around most of the corners to keep up. It took a little over 3 and 1/2 hrs for the whole trip of 240kms in a car.

  • Bilpin

    at 52km
  • Bilpin on the "Bells line of Rd" road has a shop or 2 for a break if you need it, not a bad I idea really because there is more.

  • Kurrajong

    at 63km
  • Thjsi is a left turn to Comeleroy Rd, watch this its easy to miss approx 10-12 Kms past Bilpin

  • Comleroy

    at 71km
  • veer right to Blaxland Ridge Road

    at 76km
  • can't remember if the sign post is obvious but about 10-12 kms past your last turn

  • turn left into Putty rd

    at 86km
  • Putty rd turn which soon becomes Singleton/Putty road, I don't get it either but the locals must have a long street address. Singleton is your destination, and if

  • Colo

    at 93km
  • Bulga

    at 218km
  • Bulga is about 140-150 kms from the Putty road turn, most sport bikes might be on reserve but don't panic, I will add the fuel stops when I get that info.

  • Singleton

    at 240km
  • If you read the begining comments this will make a lot more sense. We needed a drink after that I was tapped out and the last 3/4 of an hour were in the dark, so the concentration level on the tailights of the Landy was pretty high, don't yeah whatever me cos then you'd be callin my wife a liar and she can gut a man just by lookin at him.
