I’m cycling from Brisbane to Melbourne in January 2010. The recreation leave is booked from work, the draft route prepared and family support obtained.
If anyone lives enroute to Melbourne (country route – not coastal route) and would like to catch up – am happy to modify my route accordingly (remember though that I can only ride 80 – 100km / day).
Also – who better to ask for likely weather and wind conditions than a bunch of gardeners.
Approximate route: Brisbane – Rathdowney – Inerell – Gunnedah – Bathurst – Yass – Albury / Wodonga – Tumut – Healesville. Having regard to safety am not disclosing publicly exact route / timings. But am keen for ideas and tips.
And of course to catch up with ALSers because that would be awesome!
Woz – This is a dumb question – but where exactly is the Yarra Valley? I hear about it all the time but am never quite sure where it is. Would love to stop there though 🙂 Sounds great from all accounts.
RA – Yeah I know it will be hot. But I am pragmatic – 4 months of the year are too cold. 4 months of the year are too hot. The remaining 4 months are too far away because am already taking a 3 week holiday this Spring. We live in Australia so just have to put up with the heat. Ask me whether I agree again when I reach Melbourne 😆
Humbug – I may just take you up on that offer. Thank you. 😀
Hey there Dan – That would be lovely. Thank you. 🙂
As for hills – think I will be used to them by the time I get to the Yarra Valley. There’s a few around the New England and also around Tumut area (or so I’ve been told)
