in·ci·den·tal/ˌinsiˈdentl/ Accompanying but not a major part of something: “incidental expenses”. Yesterday we decided that we wanted to see the Glasshouse Mountains, which are located in the hinterlands of the Sunshine Coast. Getting there from Brisbane is amazingly easy, it simply requires catching a train from central Brisbane and you are there in about an hour. Plus you can use your goCard so you don’t even have to buy a […]
So now that things have settled down a bit and I am getting accustomed to Queensland it seems like a good time to go back to NSW. Lonely Planet’s book Cycling Australia describes a 5 day trip around the border region of QLD and NSW that I think I am going to try to do in the coming weeks.

“Remember to keep the road under you and the sky above you and everything will be fine” – Tim Sindle It has been brought to our attention that Christian and I do not have a working definition of what exactly a ‘crash’ is. I swear he stacked it the other day, but he maintains he just ‘came off’. Pfft. So we’ve had to clarify the meaning of ‘stacked’ and ‘came…

We knew we were never going to get every stamp, but I would say we did a fairly good job! We made it to: Mt […]
So here are a few belated photos from our trip to Tasmania, there are very late but are probably the highlights of the trip.
Recently I was sitting around trying to work out how to keep my self occupied and came across a website claiming to have a list of the World’s top 50 riding experiences. I read it and immediately thought that it wasn’t the best rides in the world, quite simply because any list that doesn’t involve cycling around Tasmania is severely floored. However, the more that I read it, the more […]
In December 2011 my partner and I set out on an adventure, to cycle tour around Tasmania from Hobart to Hobart the long way. Before setting out I had never really ridden on overnight cycle tours and you’d think that this should have led to some trepidation, but no, this was to be our big adventure and that is exactly how we treated it. Plus Tasmania is an island with […]
Well Clare has just come back from a big cycling adventure around Kangaroo Island off South Australia’s southern coast line. Early reports are that it was amazing, but she might fill us in in future. Clare’s Kangaroo Island Adventure
