The Challenge Organisers
 
The All Trails Team behind the Challenge.
Phil McDonald : The Master Planner.
How does an organiser manage to get 100 people capable of riding over 1000km beteween Melbourne and Sydney?

One doesnt have to spend much time cruising The All Trails Website (www.alltrails.com.au), or getting correspondence after booking on one of the All Trails Tours to realise that THIS FELLA IS ORGANISED (exclamation mark, exclamation mark, !!)

After paying our deposit we received detailed information on the ride and its stages
This was followed up with a large map for every days ride PLUS a profile map showing where the hills are and what gradients.
"Hey is this the Tour de France or what?" we thought...

The Master Planner then hit us with Entry Tickets to Bicycling Australia SHOW 2001 along with a highly detailed information brochure on

1. Accomodation (town by town [with address and phone no]), Transport arrangements,
2. A ride guide for every one of our 9 days (times, agenda, description of event)
3. A baggage guide (bag, ID ribbons, luggage collection and day pack advice
4. Safety Information with particular regard to the ride (refer the article)
5. Meal Information (muchos gracias Phil)
6. What to bring (Bike, Clothing, Personal)

He is even offering an optional Mt Kosiusko bushwalk. How good is that?

We can hardly wait to get moving on Saterday !!!!
