At this stage, the only overseas visitor for this remarkable event is Inhouse Bob. Thanks, Bob.
On the basis that Bob plans to be in Australia from 15-27 March and to have a bike for most of that, I thought to myself, why not just go riding for all of it? That way Bob will not have to wrestle with Sydney traffic more than once or twice. Nor will I!
So, Australian forum members who have expressed interest in this event, how would that work for you? We'd leave Sydney on 16 March and get back on around 24 March. My preliminary thoughts are to head for the high country and Victoria before winding back up through the high country to the coast to Sydney.
However, I could come up with a route that would get us back with in sight of Sydney on around 21 or 22 March so people could peel off if they want to. In that case I'd suggest not going so far south and maybe doing a few days to the north of Sydney.
There's a map of my preliminary southern ride thoughts
here. Each day is a layer and you can turn them on and off as you see the need.
Thoughts, suggestions, arguments, contradiction are all welcome.
I will also use my moderator super-powers to push this into the 'important threads' are of this forum.
