My youngest has just reached the magical size of being able to fit on the back. With the seat post shoved right in she's able to ride. Now I'm looking for a...
Hi Nigel, if you don't come up with anything I would be interested in making up a set for you at cost. It is something I've been meaning to look at for a while...
Marc has acquired a couple of sets, and each time he sourced them on e-bay from the US. (Still haven't put them on any of the bikes, but you know, these things...
How do you interpret this: "Day 6 starts out from Wingham Showground. A shuttle bus will be provided for all riders and their bikes up to Comboyne, where a ...
Hi Tracey I am 100% sure it's a typo. We will be riding up the hill and riding down without assistance. An email to BNSW might be a good idea. I can't think of...
I just got the quickest response from BNSW ever - emailed them, and barely 5 mins later someone rang me. Suspicions correct. They didn't get approval from the...
I still have not booked it yet, I wonder what other surprises lay in store. I was thinging about doing half the ride Tracey, I guess I know which half now....
Hi All, Kathy and I still havent signed up, but are keen to ride the Big Ride. I spoke to Alex Unwin just before Christmas because we were unhappy that last...
We agree, Adrian! ie. about boxing up bikes just to get to the top of the hill. Our biggest issue with it is that putting your bike on a truck isn't what...
Just to add my 2 cents worth. I've spent several years now indoctrinating Richard with the manta: 'we are cyclists, not pedestrians so we cycle, we don't...
I have only driven this road many years ago so I don't have a clear recollection of it. I don't think it could possibly be worse than the Cols i've done in...
... The more I hear about this year's ride the happier I'm getting that I decided to give it a miss! Unless BNSW change things around a bit I think that 2006...

Just catching up on e-mail after 5 weeks overseas; one brief cycle around the walled city of Lucca in Italy but that was it! Back to training ASAP I think. I...
We are thinking we might take a drive down to that area tomorrow arvo - camp overnight, then take a look at the Hill in question - to see if it is rideable. ...
I could go and have a look at this hill but not this weekend as I am working. I have driven up to Comboyne before but not on the road of the bike ride I think....
So. We went. We saw. We don't think we can conquer. Well, not quite accurate.. it's more me and the kids who don't think we could do it - certainly not in the...
I will be out of the office starting 01/20/2007 and will not return until 01/30/2007. ============================================== "The information...
Tracey, Thanks for the update; it concerns me too that the route was planned this way. Surely anyone who had ridden it would have realised the issues? Now ...
Malcom... Sorry we didn't stop to take photos. (Frankly, there wasn't really the room to pull over anywhere on the road! - and I was just sitting in the...
There ia another way. There is a reasonable road up through Bobin to Elands and Ellenborough falls. I think it goes into dirt only at the end but it is a while...
I drove up to Comboyne via Ellenborough falls today. Its about 62km. The first 27km (from Wingham) is sealed, rolling up and down about 20m rises but good...
Thanks Chris! (And you remembered to take a GPS unlike a certain person here...) I've started trying to find out about accommodation options at Elands and...
Ditto Chris, well done and many thanks to both you and Tracey (and family) for the recce. I had a chat with a friend of mine last night; he reckons the route...
... The Elands Cottages were about 1km from the Elands intersection. The sign said " Self Contained Luxury Accommodation". I'm not sure how much luxury you can...
Well, I found a place at Comboyne, with an extremely helpful bike-riding owner who is offering to transport gear and pick up food and everything: "Our...
Good work Tracey. I think it would be worth contacting the Elands cottages - let me know if you would like me to do it. I came across this farmstay: ...
We Yanks had a great time touring greater Sydney in November. If interested, here's a link to an article about our trip. If any of you are ever in the...
Glad you dropped back in! Marc and I wondered about you periodically! Thoroughly enjoyed reading your write-up., and glad you enjoyed your tour down under. All...
We are still debating what we want to do, but we are starting to lean towards 'Comboyne or bust' so we have an easy peasy morning the next day. We can't...
