Melbourne Adelaide Ride

Well we’re off again on a ride from Melbourne to Adelaide comencing on Sunday March 16 and finishing in Adelaide on March 30. The distance is about 1200 kms and we climb about 4000 metres over the 2 weeks of the ride.

On this ride we have 7 riders plus a driver as it is a supported ride. This means we carry very little on our bikes as the luggage is taken in my ute.

Our driver is Ian Hollebon who was our driver on recent rides in New Zealand. We are also joined by my friend Chris Jones from New Zealand who has been my regular rider in many escapades in Europe, New Zealand and Australia.

The other riders from the Wheeliebinners riding group in Melbourne are Abdy Sadri , Ellio Stocco, Frank Parvizian, Anthony Walsh and Steve Seymour.

The ride takes us in a westerly direction to Adelaide along the Great Ocean Road and through the Coorong National Park. Heading west might be a bit challenging if there is bad weather but hopefully the recent mild winds might prevail!!

Accommodation has been booked in caravan parks, hotels and even in the Mt Gambier gaol! I have attached a copy of a “flyer” which was prepared by our driver, Ian who has some experience in the travel industry having worked for Air New Zealand.

I will be doing my blogs each day of our adventure and hope you enjoy them.
