Nice mate! What was the longest distance between fuel , 508 km? What bladders do you use? Thanks
@mongreldogproductions Сағат бұрын
We had to cover 586km between our longest fuel leg on this trip. I use a Desert Fox bladder which carry's 7 litres (rated to carry 6 litres) and Chris uses a 10 litre collapsible bladder. There are lots to choose from on the Market.

Big block knobby Rear tyres dont last long on these big adventure bikes...something to do with the soft compound to give you a bit of grip even on unsealed roads. Most riders expect 5000-8000 km out of a rear. There are other 50/50 tyres on the market that will give you better mileage but there is always a trade off, a compromise. No one tyre will do it all.

Hi Roger0691, when you ask 'how did i get the route?'' do you mean the GPX file??? I parked the bike either locked up in the hotel car parks out of view from the public or secured it in the room. The food is fine and I never experienced any tummy upsets. There are a lot of 7/11's and CU25 stores where you can get a variety of healthy snacks and meals along the way. I shipped the bike with me (the Airlines consider it sporting equipment, just like surf boards or golf clubs). Link for the route is here; seoulcycle.com/our-team

Steve I have just finished watching this complete trip, I think for the second time, I noticed you were giving Warburton a bit of a pay for petrol prices and that you felt the roadhouse may have changed hands, I was out there a couple of years ago traversing the GCR and I was told by one of the roadhouse operators that all the roadhouses on the GCR are owned by the communities in the particular area and are then tendered out to operators for periods of 12 months at a time, now I'm not saying that is gospel but it did sound feasible.
