Just a little heads up fellas. With all the rainfall that we have had during the past 3 months. The road up to Gingers Creek has taken a battering, and at the moment has been turned into 1 lane due to the road being washed away. Alot of bike riders are not going up there at the moment. They have portable traffic lights erected at the moment to deal with the traffic. Hopefully the road will be repaired before you guys come up, but somehow im not sure it will. I will keep you guys updated. :an

Hi Thunderoo,
My company is a RTA contractor, so I know the guy in charge of that area and have called him for an update.
At the moment there is a traffic light set up stopping 1 lane of traffic for 300mtrs of
the road I saw this on my ride up there 3 weeks ago and to be honest I was happy to rest there for 5 minutes waiting for the green light.
He also said the bulk of the pot hole repairs should be done by then, and there will be no work over the weekend of the event.

Sorry to repeat myself but please see above answer to original question.

It is still 2.5months untill the event. With the RTA working on this road Monday thru Friday which has obviously been improving even in the last few weeks.

I just heard from the organisers of the Carnival of the Pines Parade.
I need to have exact numbers to them by 1st of September.
This means any forms recieved after this can not take part in the Parade on Sunday.....

Did a Test Run out to Gingers and good news the road is quite good most of the road has been repaired and there is no loose rocks on the road.
There is a section for about about 2kms which is still a little rough but I had no problem getting in and around the bumps.
The only scare I had was running over a 4 foot blacksnake. (no pic sorry)
It was a very enjoyable drive but I really enjoyed the beer when we stopped at Long Flat pub on the way back.
