Great write-up, but we need photo’s!!!

Hurry up Bob!

Are you using padded shorts? I always use bum butter on multi-day trips but have never had a problem with build-up of residue if you keep things spick-&-span. The key to having a happy botty is keeping it as clean & dry as possible.. As above take more than one pair & rotate. Make sure a...

Deffo Shaf! Hopefully see you soon

different organisers promoting it ? Great Divide doesn't include Canada. It's also a 'true' ITT in the purist sense... you can carry a mobile but it must remain sealed and unused. Thanks Ledburner/Stu :-bd So is Lachlan doing the Great Divide and not the Tour Divide. Now I've become totally confuse...

Whats the difference between the Great Divide & the Tour Divide??

I can see that they follow a similar route & finish at the same place(?), but they're a different overall distance?

8/12

Quick smash & grab local one at the death for me last night..

Septs edition should be a bit more of an adventure..

I've found the stuff that Invisiframe use has been the best, they're actually based in Shrewsbury Al.

Thanks Dave

I think the MH flag is Mike's record time applied to the new route, right? it's a dot moving at 14.5 day pace on the current route rather than where Mike actually was on his ride (sorry if that's already been covered - just thought it's relevant for comparisons). I’m not sure it is - the MH flag st...

With Fisherfield coming up it’s prob the right call.
Must be pretty bad, seen her in the early hours on a couple of BB200’s & she’s nails!

Sounds dangerous

Hope she’s not soaking her feet in it

(Edit due to an overlap in posts)

Sorry to hear she’s had to bail

Well done Phil & others!

Bob, any news from Cath?

May completed on the JennRide, will try to put a couple of piccies up when i get chance..

Big thanks to Stu & Dee! Plus all the H@elpers!

Been attending for 9 (or 10) years, it's a great event..

Also thanks to the usual gang, especially Taylor & Matt for the route & Zippy for stretching me out on the climbs (& descents!)
