Hi all, unfortunately due to a family issue I have had to cancel my trip to Balranald. Bike is washed, wet weather
Gear laid out and I  was looking forward to meeting up and getting to know each other but not to be, hopefully another time.

.... the Great Southern Rail Trail ....

It's on my bucket list.  The guys I rode with yesterday (one a mate since primary school, and then mates of mates) are pretty keen riders.  Over the past few years they've managed to ride most of the rail trails throughout Victoria, but were talking of a revisit to the GSRT, so perhaps my wish will be fulfilled soon.

I'll let you know and perhaps we can meet at the Korumburra Bakery.  It was the local Ulysses meeting point, so was pretty good, I suppose it still is.

No interest???

Okay, it's at Walkerville Nth...https://maps.app.goo.gl/J9vfTko6J5WiAtaG8

I actually like Walkerville Sth better though as there's so much more to see such as the historic Lime Kilns and Cemetery.
Then there's the caves that are accessible at low tide... :thumbs

Thanks for the info, Michael but I'm just not that keen... ++
We do have the Great Southern Rail Trail here but other than that I wouldn't be game to ride one on our crap roads.

Funnily enough I actually had an e-bike that I inherited from my brother but it was in need of a new battery so I ended up giving it to a friend.

Good onyas, both of you!  :thumbsup

Oh, it’s an EV, never mind.

Got nothing against EVs in certain situations, Michael!  :grin

Couldn't resist the poke, the opportunity was too good.

Back to my original suggestion, try an eBike - it's the second best time you can have with your pants on.  You don't need to outlay much in the way of $$ if you start on the bottom rung (fit a kit), you'll enjoy the ride, ride more often, the more you ride you'll gain more fitness (little by little) and perhaps shed to kg (little by little).

I fitted one of these kits for a mate a coupla years back, was an easy job.

I reckon he paid more, the battery will be as much again.

Or you surf FB Market Place for a good used one, eg. the one in the pic looks the same as mine.
