Summary

This blog covers an unsupported bike ride from Goondiwindi on the New South Wales/Queensland border to the Goald Coast. The route takes me through Texas, Stanthorpe, Kyogle, Murwillumbah, the Gold Coast. Distance is around 550 km over 7 days with climbing of 5000 metres.

Catching a train and bus out to Goondiwindi.

Gear is a Cannondale Lefty hardtail MTB with home made trailer. Towing weight is about 20kg's.

I've hardly ridden a bike since the 2000 km Salt to Summit last October. Only really picked up the treadley last month and have done about 600 km.  There are a couple of days hard climbing so we'll soon find out if that is enough preparation.

Kicks off on the 9th of May. Should be fun!!
