Great travel story Flyboy! Looking forward to catching up soon. I like the hammocks, but still prefer my tent, weight difference isn't a lot and in my opinion it is easier when camping.... R

I am probably not the best to person to ask.There are lot more experienced and knowledgeable people on this forum, but here it goes.. Tent under the handlebars (Spartan), spare batteries, folding mug, knife in handlebar bag. Ay Up lights. Garmin Oregon 450 GPS. Food, Maps, first aid...

This was a round trip, covering about 340 km's. I wasn't really pushing the pace anywhere, but they were pretty long days on the bike. Not too sure if you are from Brisbane, but there are lots of options for 2 day rides near Brisbane....

Brisbane Easter ride Haven't posted for a while, but would like to keep this thread going! Basically rode from Brisbane over Mt. Nebo to Fernvale on the dirt. From there I loosely followed the rail trail (it is closed in parts) to Esk. From there mainly via dirt backroads to Moore. Camped...

Hi Flyboy, I have done a few backpacking trips around SE Queensland ( mainly in the Lockyer Valley). I live near Samford, so I get to Fernvale in a similar way like you did. There are some other options as well to get back. You can go via MT Glorious or Cabbage tree Creek and Lightline...

That looks like a good ride FatGuts. We will be down your way soon for a holiday. We might try and do some of your ride...

I did this one in the USA a couple of years ago http://www.blueridgeadventures.net/oramm/ It was fantastic, very well organised, good atmosphere and great finish line party. The same organiser has a multiday event now http://www.blueridgeadventures.net/stage/ I would love to do this one, I...

I agree with going light, I use a GPS but use a Garmin Oregon. It uses 2 AA batteries, I can pick them up anywhere. When I am touring on the bike I am trying to get away from all the electronics and stuff...

Another Brisbane Tour Not really a photographer like WildWassa...and we cheated, took the credit card instead of a tent :o I just finished a loop from Esk, mainly using railtrails to get to Blackbutt. We stayed at Blackbutt in the pub and than rode back via (dirt) country roads. This was my...

No problem......Interested to see the result!

A two day tour from Brisbane through the lockyer valley....

Thanks , just like that, I will use a map to hide them as well :)

My framebag from revelate designs just arrived in the mail! Great quality and didn't take long to get here. As I went for a standard (did not want to spend too much) the fit is a bit 'long' on the front of my frame put it seems to work fine. Eric at Revelate is very easy to deal with. I also got...
