Will be in Tassie next year. And in Mackay in October this year. Just bad timing a conference I'm booking in for is  too late.

Hi Shillas

If you let us know what date(s) you'll be here in October we'll see if I'm off-shift. We could do you a personal repeat version of either of the RTEs. I know you're probably flying, but bring a helmet and we'll lend you our Piaggio MP3... Drop us a PM when you know when you're coming up.

We did Bundy to Rockhampton (and then to Marlborough) on Wednesday.  Add half an hour to whatever your GPS tells you the ETA is.  There’s quite a bit of roadworks south of Rocky, most of them single lane with Stop/Go people at each end.  See you in Mackay Thursday.

Ride safe & enjoy the rest of the ride!

You know you have entered a parallel universe the day you encounter no roadworks on the Bruce Hwy. Oh well, it's nice to dream  :crazy

7 DAY FORECAST FOR MACKAY

Just to give you some idea what weather to expect, and if you haven't left already,
what to pack. Don't forget your sunscreen...

Yep- beautiful one day, perfect the next.  And that goes for the weather, too!   :grin
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott
