Am seriously considering entering Wildside and would like to hear from people who have previously done it. I've seen the articles and photos of the past events. Is it as good as it looks?
I'd be coming from Sydney and bringing the wife and combining it with a holiday. Has anyone actually figured out whether it'd be cheaper to fly and hire a car vs driving to Melbourne and taking the spirit of tasmania (which seems to cost a fair bit)? Anyone know if there is enough height clearance to have bikes on roof racks on the ship?
Can anyone suggest the best places to stay each night during the race? (I'm looking for motels/hotels rather than camping). What do people do for bike security, i.e. do the accomodation places let you have the bikes in the rooms?
With local mechanical support do people bother taking much in the way of tools and spares (especially important if flying to keep weight low)?
Any other info I should be aware of?
