Day trip to Huskisson

The forecast was good, the bike was fueled, had some Geocaching milestone business to attend to, so what are waiting for ? Coolish morning so I rode with the Winter gloves on. Whilst I love the road between Nerriga and Jervis Bay/Nowra, I don't particularly like the road between Bungendore/Tarago/Nerriga. When the X5 was new, all those years ago, I drove the Braidwood/Nerriga rd which was mainly a good dirt road. Intel suggested it was mainly sealed now so I thought worth investigating. Mr Google Maps suggested the difference in distance between the 2 routes was miniscule.
       The road between Braidwood and Nerriga is sealed except for 2 small bits.  One of those bits is currently being sealed and the second only took about 5 minutes to pass. The good thing (especially on a bike) is that the road verges are clear of vegetation so less likely to be ambushed by a roo. AND the extra  good news is Nerriga now has clean new Public Toilets.
   The sad news was just after Nerriga - the forests there bore the brunt of the 2020 bushfires.  They are regenerating but the view did take my breath away. On to Huskisson, The Jervis Bay Club was doing a roaring trade but the queue for lunch was just not moving - grabbed a toasted sanga from the internal cafe then went off to the nearby park to find my 3,000th geocache - Yay me
  Refueled and hit the road, this time to do the Tarago option.  The wind was getting stronger and I was getting tireder. This way is 12km shorter but it is less scenic, the forest is so close to the road.  Long stretches of 80kph limits,  I think I'll stick to the other way.  So all up, a tad over 400km and 6 hours in the saddle. I will sleep well tonight!
