The loop starts at Vince Strang Motorcycles in Inverell. After a short transport out of town you hit flowing dirt lanes with short tar links to Gilgai, then into the bush where the erosion mounds start, the track turns and weaves through unmarked trails making GPS almost essential, it will be hard work just following a route sheet through here.
Trails weave through rocks and ruts, deep sandy corners keep things interesting then it’s up easy climb to an excellent lookout on Mt Topper.
After all the excitement of the tight bush there is a ten kilometre transport section before getting back into it as Paradise Creek works its charm.
All too soon you’re back through Elsmore and onto the delightful old Armidale Road that is a highlight as you jump and rail berms back to Inverell.
