Below is a day by day track of our actual ride - initially updated day by day, now summarised for posterity. Only three-days touring is a bit short - but a tour is a tour, I say. Each day's route links to a ridewithgps route. It should be visible, with export file options available to …
Day 3 – Bellingen to home
62k +667m of climbing. We actually didn't have that much to choose from for accommodation in Bello. A few Airbnbs were booked out. (Noticed the Bello Show was on, so maybe that was it.) So we ended up in a Guesthouse/B&B which was nice, if not a bit on the olde worlde, fancy and cluttered …
Day 2 – Lowanna to Bellingen via Dorrigo
72k and another 1000m of climbing. (which clearly did not include the steep descent down Waterfall Way between Dorrigo and Bello!)

Day 1 – Home to Lowanna
Day 1 recap (now that we're home, with fast internet.) Only 54k but over 1000m of climbing.

Bucca Road and Orara Rd …

Grand plans to tour overseas 'every second year' met with a reality check - as did a Plan B of a 10-day 'Northern Rivers' tour - heading out from, and returning home. So Plan C it is. As much as we need to get some more done on the never-ending renovations, we felt we needed …
Day 17 – Stony Point to Melbourne (Carlton)
after taking the ferry across from Cowes. We made it 🥂🍻 Long day, and tricky navigating all the bike paths, not many photos. Eating out in the big city! What a contrast to the past few weeks!
Day 16 – Tarwin Lower to Cowes (Phillip Island)
85k. The day started off cold and gloomy making the 20k to Inverloch a bit meh. I actually resorted to the rain jacket then, but whenever we were protected from the wind off the ocean I was too warm. On off on off... The road between Inverloch and Cape Paterson was surprisingly traffic free, and …
