Another successful Newcastle Overnighter by Ollie, Chris and Gareth, aka the night when some people think it'll be fun to ride from Sydney to Newcastle overnight and go for a swim at Newcastle baths. A distance of 172 kilometres, 2480 metres of elevation and some nice mountain climbs and decent.
It's a test of mind and body. An opportunity to ride up to Newcastle. An experience of the New South Wales with the stars and the moon, and sometimes a cultural experience dealing with some bogans.
