Mulling over where to go it occurred to me that there is a bit of a Catch 22 - to suit not interfering with school end of Jan is a good time but most of the...
Even more of a catch 22, I doubt we'd be able to book campgrounds for such a number in January.... wherever, but particularly Tasmania. All reasons why I...
hi summarised wade response: * can't think of anywhere on the mainland that is cool in jan (even snowy mountains are hot at that time of year). * happy for...
Thoughts from the Leighs: I agree. Cool, January and Australian mainland are not phrases often used together. Leighs could do mid term, but less preferred. ...
The Williams family is presently cycling the Mekong Delta. It is hot, very hot. But we have another four days and it is great. Ken Williams From my PDA...
No real tandem content but did anyone watch the SBS broadcast of the Paris- Roubaix? I watched the start and in good Tour de F style watched the end as a...
Must admit I did the same but then I did sit up last year after the O'Grady win the year before. It was the 2007 win by an Aussie that prompted SBS to start...
Chris I did exactly the same. I watched it to within about 35kms of the end and then pressed record for the morning finish. The cobblestones surface was quite...
In the wet it is an even better race to watch - especially through the forest and the cobblestones. SBS used to do a one-hour package before they started...
... Sadly I didn't get to see it this year, went away for easter and didn't record even the hilights. It certainly makes you laugh a little at some of the...
Adrian, Don't worry too much about missing the telecast; SBS will run a highlights package in a week or so, typically Sunday 11am or midday. They normally run...
In honour of our 20th anniversary (well, that's what we're telling the babysitters anyway), we're doing a tandem tour sans kids in July! We're hitting the...
Guilt. That's what it is Tracey. Guilt plain and simple. I was going to claim the regular deluge was the reason but I know Coffs has been worse. There's no...
Must admit; other than to and from work, nothing much happening here. Roger and I with daughters as stokers and the boys on their half bikes did the Bike North...
Just to make you all jealous - after the great off road journey up the Mawson Trail a few weeks ago, I'm off next Wednesday to support Alltrails Darwin to...
Sounds fantastic Peter! Have a great time! Actually, there's a couple from Coffs BUG that are currently riding Darwin to Broome under their own steam! Wonder...
... OK I'm jealous. Few k's in that lot. Sounds a lot better than a Melbourne winter. Or even a Hallidays Point winter come to think of it - never seems to...
Well, we did it with no great dramas other than the speedo giving up the ghost after it got wet and cold. And my legs and bum starting to object by Day 5 -...
Well done Tracey and Mark Looks like a great tour to do when it's a bit warmer! Some great scenery to be riding through. Like your idea of vertical meters...
Yeah, I liked the blue skies and the post boxes. My suggestion would be to not start before 10 each day. A tad warmer and definitely more civilised. :-) Chris...
Hey Geoff (see you on facebook now, eh!).. Wouldn't mind doing the QLD ride but it clashes with the business end of the netball season. No, won't get to...
Hi Chris.. a later start would indeed be good, but you'd have to shorten each day, otherwise you're running into cold and dark at the other end of the day!...
... Well it is really. The Schmidts are really a modern day equivalent of the Von Trapps, you should all stick together. through thick and thin. Sing - "The...
... Reckon you're struggling with your analogies there Chris! (You've never heard any of us sing. For a reason!) And we only talk Dr Who episodes to annoy...
