Two years, three knee surgeries (for the old boy) and lots of hard work and training, and at last we have our next cycling adventure on its way.
On Cup Day we head south for 3 weeks cycling the east coast of Tasmania.

For the first time we’re totally self directed- carrying everything with us (no baggage transfers). After much cursing and paring back we’ve managed a respectable 26 kg of on-bike carry on – which will gradually reduce as we apply the toothpaste and butt cream (not to the same place!) we have squeezed everything into 4 pannier bags, a frame bag and a handlebar bag. David’s clothes came in at 4.1kg- 200g less than mine. The rest is tools, first aid & electronics.

As usual we’ll blog as we go internet coverage pending- just 8 sleeps to go!
