Planning for travel at Christmas time?
« on: September 15, 2011, 07:40:55 PM »
Anyone planning to cover some distance at Christmas time?
Let us know here what you'll be getting up to around Christmas (bike plans. or any interesting adventure!).

My family and I usually travel to my Mums around Christmas time. She lives in Crookwell in NSW.
In the past few years I have taken my 80 series Landcruiser and camper trailer and have visited the Vic and NSW high country's, as well as some national parks along the way.


I also have an Aunt and Uncle that live on the NSW south coast.
All these areas seem to have nice bike riding roads. 

So I am considering modifying the camper trailer by removing the tent and building an alternative tailgate/ramp and taking the bike along. I'd like to take the bike on it's own but I have the gang to take.. and it is a 2500k round trip (without detours!).
That will mean that I will need to revert back to a tent and basic o'night gear, but that's ok.

Once I get to Crookwell my wife and I can head of and cover some touring distance on the bike..

If you are coming down let me now as I am in Canberra just down the road. Lots of different roads to explore, many near Crookwell.  South coast has a lot to offer as well.

Sounds good, Saaz! Talk more once I know how I go with the trailer!
