Ride Summary

The ride from Grafton to Armidale is about a two and a half hour ride that is considered one of the most popular routes for motorcyclists in NSW. The ride takes you Southwest from Grafton through the Cathedral Rock, Nymboibinderay, and Chaelundi National Parks. This is a ride full of natural wonder and is well worth the ride.

Ride Description

The ride begins with a few gentle curves on a fast paced road through some very scenic farmland areas. Once you reach Nymboida you begin to ascend the hills and the roads tighten up a bit and the amount of livestock increases, so use caution! From Ebor to Armidale the road straightens out and you will increase your pace as you ride down a very beautiful, old country road. The ride is very easy on most bikes from this point on, but the scenery is downright gorgeous!

Directions

The ride from Grafton heads Southwest along the Nymboida Road for about 90 km before it turns into Grafton road for the remaining 90km. There are no turns to make so it is a fairly mindless journey, allowing you to enjoy the scenery without much chance of getting lost.

What Else To Look Out For
