Never rode up Baw Baw before but heard a few rumours…..When I hit the Gantry I thought I would push it hard until I bummed out. Well 1km later I was knackered and it was a matter of survival to the top. I stopped once because I thought I was going to pass out. Once at the...
First time I camped close to a K-Water-office but out of water, no tap to find but a Convenience-store showing on maps.me before I hit the hills full of some more climbs it felt like the best option. I stuck around for a while, trying to see someone – there were still some ca...

" The nice, sweet, gentle German cyclists we met and dropped on the climb were coming down the mountain like crazed bees, weaving and swarming in and out of traffic, absolutely fearless. We joined them until we hit the flats on the valley floor. Then, instead of pressing on at the ...
I walked it in October 2013 expecting gorgeous autumnal cool days and instead got three typhoons. I’m just back from Japan having spent all of October there and again got hit with typhoons so I would say spring is a more settled time of year – march/april or april/may. June is the...
