SUGGESTED EQUIPMENT

From past experience, riders do tend to bring more equipment than they need. As we are limited for room, it is suggested that you keep equipment to a minimum.

Essential items are:

• Multi tool
• Patch kit and spare tyre, 2 tubes, spare cables, spokes and nipples.
• Bike lock & pump
• HELMET- must be worn in Australia whilst riding.
• Minimum of 2 water bottles.
• Tent
• Sleeping mat & sleeping bag
• Crockery & cutlery for one
• Insect repellent & sunscreen
• Clothing & toiletries

This MUST fit into one bag per rider- sausage bag or equivalent. If using panniers, no more than four will be carried in vehicle.

SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS

Riders MUST have:

1. Efficient front and rear lighting which MUST be switched on in conditions of poor visibility.
2. Bright coloured clothing & bike helmet must be worn at all times whilst cycling.
3. A reflective vest is highly recommended.
4. Riders must ensure they remain hydrated at all times and ride in single file.
5. Riders must be aware that road trains, up to 52mts in length, use these highways and it is recommended that riders must take necessary precautions to ensure their own safety.
6. Safety mirrors - no mirror, no riding.
7. All bicycles should be in first-rate mechanical order. If the bike is over 5 years old, all cables should be replaced, this is not too expensive but can be if left unattended. Worn chains and cassettes & brake blocks should also be replaced. Book in to your local bike shop for last minute maintenance. A limited supply of spares are available & spare bike carried in the event of a total breakdown.
