Cairns to Cape York Advice Sought
Posted: Sat Jul 19, 2008 3:06 pm
Hi all!
My friend and I are riding form Cairns to Cape York and would appreciate input from anyone who has done the trip or a comparable journey which involves hundreds of kilomtres of unsealed roads.
First, I am planning on doing the trip on a Giant Talon does anyone have any input about the strength/durability of this bike on such terrrain or point to any vulnerabilities on the bike.
Secondly, does anyone want to throw up a list of spare parts that would be worth taking? I have one but want to see what everyone else thinks is necessary.
Thirdly, I would love any tip or comment on the trip which may just be something which saves us!
Can't wait to hear from you,
Cam
