Countdown

Indipac 2022 – Recap time
I promised myself - and Marc - that I would come back and record our IPWR/Indipac ride... tour... journey....adventure.... utter madness... (can't quite decide what to call it) in more detail here.

Sandy Beach to Yamba
Border closures and lockdowns this year really put the kybosh on a couple of tour ideas (north to Qld and back, and then even just Northern NSW). So here we are just into December with just a couple of days to spare and some new gear to test-drive... or rather test-ride. And we wanted to …
