14 th and 15 th, lock it in....
have been doing a bit of research into this. there a bike shop in alex i think cant remember atm, that will organise accomidation, transportation of luggage to overnight stops, breakfast, and will drop your vehicle at the other end of the trail. awesome ae!!!!
looks like its best to do a three day two night thing, start in clyde finish in middlemarch less up hill that way apparently. approx 165 km

sore bums!!! so a small level of practice wouldnt hurt as we will be having a pint a pub and theres a fark load of them
will update more as i know
watch this space kidds

That sounds like too much hard work for me. I'd rather ride one or two stages.
