Day 1: 4 + 16 + 15 + 19 + 15 = 69Km
Day 2: 5 + 14 + 36 = 55Km
Day 3: 6 + 20 + 22 = 48Km
Day 4: 36Km
Nice. Gets easier with each day. Vertical doesn't look so bad either. Bring it on!
I was sort of hoping for a Snowy Mountains MTB trip in Jan, but this could just as well do
It does look good doesnt it.....would love to do it but me thinks that the other half would walk out on me if i did it.....snowies does sound good too...
I'm with Sam and for the same reason
(why does the wife and kids always get in the way of a good ride?)
anon
ah well take the wife thats how it works for me.
Well we'll take lots of pictures.
Not an inexepnsive exercise I must say, but a good way to see some of Tassy.
Any good tips on bike boxes beyond the obvious cardboards from the LBS or Qantas?
and MTB-ing as well...
Wildside is apparently an awesome race, would be keen on doing it but am hoping to get a berth in this...
strangely attractive and horrifying - fascinating looking race. The ratio of starters to finishers is staggeringly low.
Goodness they always seem like a good idea from the comfort of the couch.
Not many Aussies or Kiwis on that ride - what a fantastic epic. Do you know any who have done it?
good to see that this race is back on after 1 year break - i did this a couple of years back so if you need any advice...
advice gratefully accepted - I have only once done a multi-day event, about erm 8 years ago (goodness doesn't seem that long!)
Kiwigirl and I are not planning on being competitive as Masters, just want to enjoy the ride and have a good time while of course testing ourselves.
So, please do share any pearls of wisdom you may have on this..
