    An 82yo female has completed a Cycle Qld ride. On last year's ride there were quite a few blokes in their 70s. At least two looked as if they'd have difficulty walking to the showers, but once they were on their bikes I was left behind.
    A 92yo cyclist is to lead this year's NSW Bigride out of Holbrook. They don't say if he's doing the whole ride.

    Kind regards

    There were 2 guys who did the whole ride on unicycles. They have no gears and no brakes. I saw one of these blokes at the top of a big hill. He looked as if he was going to die. He got better and then rode off again. Lunatic.

    Hills are easier the less you weigh.

    The pricing and route info have been posted on the website.

    Click here for the route information

    There isn't a free bike this year. They have a cheap bike for $80. If you don't have a bike or your bike is a piece of crap, these will get you through the ride. They sound better this year than last.

    The cost is $645 for an adult. Damn cheap for 9 day holiday with all but 1 meal supplied. Details here.

    Again, you pack of pansies, get on yer bike and get fit, lose weight and have fun.

    I've got a bike.
    You can ride it if you like.
    It's got a basket, a bell that rings,
    and things to make it look good.
    I'd give it to you if I could, but I borrowed it.


    Wrong thread.

    Here are a few PDFs that show the ride profiles. They look worse then it really is. The scale on the left is in metres and the scale across is in kilometres.

    Day 1
    Day 2
    Day 3
    Day 4
    Day 6
    Day 7
    Day 8
    Day 9


    Day 1, 4 and 7 are the tough days. The rest are pretty easy. Day 5 is a rest day.
