Well there is a little group of us up here - I am the baby at 51yrs and our
oldest rider is 64. Last year they crossed the Gulf of Carpentaria, some
cross country, no roads, just map and compass. We dont have back up, you
take all your gear on the bike. This year we have done a wonderful trip from
Atherton, Mt Garnet, Minomooka, down to Mt Fox, up to Ingham, across the
Cardwell Range (our only bitumen run ) then back up the Kirrama Range and
home. It was a wonderful 19days of hills, creeks,camping under the stars. We
posted dry food to 2 stations and had an absolute splurge in the food shops
in both Cardwell and Ingham. Although I have done a bit of touring on my
Trek Hybrid this was a first for me on my new Giant Alias MTB compliments of
the Kevin Rudd $900. I call my trusty steed "Kevvie"LOL. I am now planning
our next off road adventure - what fun
