I like a destination ride so today I went out to look for Ardoch Spring which is a natural spring just off Ardoch Rd on River Rd. Ardoch Rd is just off the 509 north of Highway 7.
Found it. As you turn into River Rd it's literally 20 seconds further down the road next to a large clearing on the right with a lot of ads posted on the trees.
As I pulled in a local turned up and filled a ton of jugs of the water. She said it wasn't tested but everyone drinks it. She also appeared to have the right number of heads and ears and stuff so it may well be fine. It tasted great and was very cold. Fabulous on a hot day.
Had a great ride down Ardoch Rd west to the 506 through Myers Cave which sadly has no cave at all and then to highway 41.
Took 41 south and turned off to Tamworth and then took Mountain Rd all the way to Parham on highway 38.
Mountain Rd is fantastic but someone went bonkers with the tar snakes just at the Parham end.
I had the 506 and Ardoch Rd to myself. It was a great day but hot.
Of note, the dark skies reserve on Highway 41 just south of the sheffield conservation area has bathrooms.
