Just looking on google maps . I have travelled via Oberon and there was a
lot of dirt. Anyone know the road north of Crookwell ? Dirt / Sealed ?
More importantly is it a good enjoyable ride ?

Hi Will - when we went up north back in March, we took the Taralga Rd out of
Goulburn to Oberon. There was some dirt, but it was actually pretty 'good'
dirt, only a few kilometres of it, and overall a really good ride. There are
some pretty steep and twisty bits between Taralga and Oberon, and the
Goulburn-Taralga road is a pretty ride.
Haven't tried the Crookwell - Bathurst run, but have heard from others that
you really need to be pretty comfortable on dirt to bother with that one.

I travelled that road about 5 years ago and it was a fair bit of dirt and I
hated it. Remember a big sign in a paddock about please complain and help us
get the road upgraded......
so how much dirt is there now ie is you few k's closer to 20 ? >> Stay informed about: Goulburn to Bathurst |

When was the last time you travelled it? There was less than 40km dirt when
I went through in March.
(And it was good dirt and the rest of the roads were great)

Aww now...Harleys go fine in dirt
Finding mainstream Harley riders brave enough to ride them off the beaten
track is a bit like finding a GL1500 rider who knows what their top speed is

There's only about 5km of dirt left along the whole Taralga-Oberon road,
and that little bit is all graded in preparation for the upcoming
sealing of that remainder.
Conversely, there is still about 20km+ of varying quality dirt on the
Crookwell/Abercrombie road. >> Stay informed about: Goulburn to Bathurst |

Then take the Taralga road. There is only a pissy amount of dirt left
now, all nicely graded in preparation for iminent sealing, and even a
Harley wouldn't baulk at it now. Loads more dirt the Crookwell way
though, definitely no-go for Harleys! >> Stay informed about: Goulburn to Bathurst |
