Armidale, Toms Gully, Puddledock loop

A nice ride that is a bit shorter than the full Guyra loop. Take the hilly  but scenic Boorolong Rd out of Armidale and turn off at Toms Gully Rd. This is unsealed for about 7-8 km. Check out the nicely maintained Black Mountain station (no services unless someone is using the building and they have unlocked the loos). If doing this loop we carry a snack to have at the station, but the roadhouse on the highway does actually sell food. After crossing the highway turn left then onto SpringMount rd. This also has an unsealed section but good views. Turning onto Hoys Rd just before reaching the highway means you can avoid all but a very short section of the latter before reaching town
