Thank you so much for the comment. Really appreciate it. Can't wait to get out on the next adventure after doing the Hunt.

Hey thanks so much. Yep you are spot on. It’s an aeroe rack just supporting my Topeak saddle bag. I find it keeps everything nice and tight, no sway and on longer trips with a bit of extra weight I don’t stress about sag on the rear wheel. Bit pricey up front but I’ve used it a lot now with no issues at all.

@@scout8co thanks for the reply! That's a great idea that I'll keep in mind

Cheers, you're right! It's a strange but rewarding world of bike touring and adventure.

Hey Laina thanks for the comment. That’s awesome, I’m excited for you guys :) I’ve been running Pirelli Cinturato Medium Gravel tires 40mm for all my rides and I love them. Great tread and I adjust my air pressure for a little added comfort if things get bumpy. I’m sure bigger tyres would be better if you’ve got the clearance but I found anything that was technical enough to need a MTB I was off and walking anyway so I didn’t mind. Hopefully see you on the trail 👍 www.pirelli.com/tyres/en-ww/bike/tyres/catalogue/cinturato-gravel-m

Thank you so much, really means a lot. I tried to push myself to tell a story. I’ve learned a lot along the way. First purchase will be a wind cover 👍

Thanks so much for the comment. Really appreciate it. Cheers 🚲

😊 Thanks for your comment. I'm glad you enjoyed it. It was awesome for me going back through all the footage. My whole family has commented that they've never seen me so chatty. Put it all down to the good vibes of trail life. 🚲

🚲That's awesome! I'm starting to see some chatter on the fb discussion group for this years Hunt 1000. I'm excited for you all. Looking forward to following along with MAProgress.

Haha. I want to say yes but sadly I'm 99% certain there is a hitch-hiking fly skeleton somewhere in my nasal cavity. 🤣

Thanks so much for your comment. I had a ball putting this together. I'm glad there are people out there with the same silly sense of humor as me 🤣

Thanks for watching. I watched along with your series too. I'm really glad you shared yours so I could see some of the type 2 fun from the Jagungal Wilderness. From the looks of it, I think I might have been under biked.

@scout8co The night you slept in the bin shed, we were a few km ahead of you at Hotham. That was a crazy night. We were looking at your dot and couldn't work out where you'd camped.

Thanks Tom, really appreciate your comment.😊

Thanks very much David, really glad you enjoyed it. Cheers for the comment 🙂

Cheers Luke, thanks heaps for the comment :)

Thanks for the comment Rhys, really appreciate it :)

Haha thanks, best feeling reaching that lookout!

Thanks Taz, really appreciate the comment. Cheers :)

Hi Mark, thanks for your comment. I love this rack. It was my first time using it and now I'm not leaving home without it. It's called the Aeroe Spyder Rack (link below). Bit pricey at $240 AUD but well worth it. It clamps on using fabric loops and not bolts that will easily sheer off on bumpy roads. Can add on to it as well and gives options if you don't want to use a saddle bag like I did. I ordered another one the other day for another bike and it was delivered in a couple days. 🚲 aeroe.com/products/spider-rear-rack?srsltid=AfmBOoql965Zc4uyQV20bJ0wrfsq9K-t1WgWAVDEoj7ENCMTIrWv-uY0

@@scout8co thanks for that. I was looking at the Spyder the other day and nearly bought it. Thanks for the reply as it has confirmed what I was thinking of.✌️ Safe and happy travels going forward K😃

Thanks Heath, really appreciate your comment. I really happy that I filmed all my training rides. It gave me a heap of content to play with. Will definitely do that again. Cheers :)

Cheers Peter, this event really didn't disappoint. :)

Cheers Jake, thanks for the comment. Training starts this week for STS :)

Cheers thanks for watching and leaving a comment. Really appreciate it. 👍

Cheers, thanks for the comment. So happy to see people have enjoyed watching along. Thanks 🙂

Cheers Sarah, thanks for leaving a comment. Really glad people have followed along and enjoyed the series. Thanks 🙂

Oh no, I got really lucky with my knees this trip. Hopefully you on the start list again soon. 👍

Cheers George, thanks for the comment, glad you have enjoyed it so far :)

Thanks so much for the comment. I've been blown away by peoples comments. It's really appreciated thanks. 👍

Thanks very much Ed, really appreciate the comment. Glad you have enjoyed the series :)

Haha cheers Chris. Looking back on the footage I can't believe it either. 🤣

Thanks for watching Phill, and cheers for the comment. Much appreciated. 👍

Haha yep for sure. It's funny how all the tough bits of this ride are what makes for the good memories. 🤣

Sadly it was user error. I moved it sideways and my model doesn’t have the obstacle sensors on the sides. Flew straight in a tree and down she went into the river :( I was lucky enough to find it though and save the SD card :)

Thanks for the comment. I have to say I loved everything about this event.

Thank you so much for the comment. This has made my day :)

Haha thanks for the comment. Glad to hear the boys are watching along too. Cheers 👍🚲

Cheers for your comment Trevor. This is exactly the view that I was hoping to share through these videos. I got so much more out of this event by slowing things down and enjoying it rather than racing it. There seems to be a lot of like minded people out there too. I hope more events like this pop up across Australia. 🚲👍
