Trip to Oz
Hello from Ohio. New to adventure riding and headed to Oz for a work trip. Renting a bike in Sydney and will have it for 3 days. Any suggestions of where to travel. I have researched somewhat, some sights to see, but curious what others suggest I should see. I'm staying in AirBnbs for those 2 nights, and no plans are set as of yet. Any insight would be great. Cheers.

Sydney is a large city of 4 million people .. you need to get out to do any true adventure riding.
Look at it this way ... if you went to Los Angeles for 3 days .. how much adventure riding would you expect to do?
Having said that .. what kind of riding/places are you interested in?

I absolutely realize that. I live in a town of 90 people in the middle of nowhere, Ohio. That being said, I will be in Sydney the entire week before my rental, for work.
I want to get out of the city and see beautiful vistas. I was tentatively thinking about riding down to Jervis Bay on my first day, so I can see the ocean. I was then thinking of traveling inland.
I’m new to adventure riding, but grew up on dirt bikes and have been riding motorcycles for years. I don’t want to tackle anything too gnarly. Dirt roads for sure, but no single track.

Look up the Blue Mountains. I went out there by train (to Katoomba) and just walked around the trails close to the village for the day, but if you want beautiful vistas, you'll find them there.
