Bike Train Bike, Making that difficult journey
Mark R, a member of CAMWEST has an interestingly analytical mind at times and has posted an interesting comparison of Journey times for different commutes that he has had to make at times on the CAMWEST Website.

Perhaps some input from our Letter Writers may assist the cycling cause.… Continue

Dabba said… - Thanks John. I'm off to tour Northern NSW and New England in Sep/Oct, then Campbelltown, Kosciuszko, Melbourne in April, so my wold weather bag will get a bit of a workout then. Might do the Flinders in spring 2010.

- John, I meant to ask you what the temps (day and night) were at the time that you went to the Flinders, and when it was. We were there in June/July a few years ago and it was cool.

- G"day John.
I'd be interested in a bit more info on your trip to Wilpena Pound. I'd been planning on doing it myself at some stage, and now circumstances are such that I may be able to do it next year. Probably alone or with another couple. Route details would be good.

Melissa said… - Hey John,
Thanks for the welcome. I've just had a look at the site, hopfeully I'll be able to join you guys for a ride (but I might wait until I'm a bit faster). If you run the days for newer people, please let me know.... I love riding, but I get a bit worried riding on the road on my own so I'd love to hear what you guys have to say.

MadameBike said… - Hi John, my brother lives at Glen Martin - you should know that area - Punch's Road? In the mean time, I wrote to the Silver City Treddlers about their next group Big Ride soon after New year (when we last spoke) but I didn't ever receive a reply. Do you have details of their next ride?
