Sunday is day zero because on Monday I fly to Brisbane airport, grab a bus to the Sunshine Coast and ride my new bike home (eventually). I thought I’d walk through my journey and preparation and see how it all works on the ride back from Caloundra to Melbourne. First up I hear it is …
Let’s just get it over with. This is the best bike I have ever had. It does everything. It has everything. It goes anywhere. It has it down low, up high, in between, on dirt, on the freeway, for commuting, for touring, for racing and for anything else I have missed out. This bold statement …
