Destination address:
Colo Riverside Cafe, 1826 Putty Road, Colo NSW 2756
Arrival time:
Approx 08:00 AM
Special Note:
Locals to the Richmond/Windsor area are encouraged to go directly to the cafe if they are not inclined to "back-track" to Marsden Park or meet us along the way. (Please advise location)
Description:
The route planned will take us through the rural areas behind Windsor & Richmond into Freeman's Reach, Glossodia, and East Kurrajong.
We will travel down Blaxland Ridge Road to the notorious Putty Road along which we will come to the Colo River and the Colo Riverside Cafe.
Local knowledge advises to not have much at the Marsden Park Maccas on account of the scrumptious menu at the cafe.
For those returning home in the East, it is suggested that you return directly to Windsor via the Putty Road or take a longer route by turning left off Putty Rd onto Packer Road and enjoying the scenery via Sackville, Ebenezer and Wilberforce.

History Note:
Many of you may recall and participated in, a run organised organised by the Austin Healy Club, in the winters months. This was known as the Brass Monkey Run. In recent years the Mazda MX5 Club has run this event, generally starting at 6.00am from Eastern Creek and ending up in Bathurst for breakfast.
Whilst not venturing as far afield as Bathurst, this run should justify why there is a heater in your car as we travel through the low-lying mists around the famous Hawkesbury and Colo Rivers, to finally be greeted with a lovely warm coffee and a satisfying breakfast.
Let’s see how many brave souls are up for the Morgan Brass Monkey Run. We certainly look forward to a good roll-up.
