HI Ricardo,

Awesome idea. I'm looking to do a return trip but from Melbourne, e.g. Melbourne to Sydney and back.

hey I'm cycling from Melbourne to the Gold coast...

this is what I'm doing

HELLO!  I am cycling from Melbourne on the 7th of february and arriving on the Gold Coast on the 27th of february, 20 insane days for cycling to raise money for starving children in East Africa.  Cycling 100+ k's per day along our diverse coastline and through our countries - an insane task for someone who has never cycled before but if you can't you must and if you must you can!. SOO I WANT YOU TO HELP ME!.

It sounds amazing, I loved your idea!

I really thinking about to take the airplane from Sydney to Melborne and go with you.

I would like to ask some questions:

Which route did you choose?

What is your plan to sleep?

How much prepared are you to ride +100km?

Do you plan get some days to rest?

If you want send to me an e-mail with you telephone, then we can talk about better. ricardo_amj@hotmail.com

Thanks very much!

Ricardo

If you want tips, advice and route details, we travelled this route as part of our Brisbane to Sydney to Melbourne cycle tour in Dec 2011. We took 6 weeks or so to complete the whole route - our trip log and route can be found here.

We mainly travelled along the coast but I would strongly recommend the short inland detour along the Barry Way between Buchan and Jindabyne - it was awesome (see picture).

We completed the Barry Way on a road touring bike with tough tyres as it is unsealed - but is completely passable (in the dry). We also camped most of the way, with the occasional motel. Good luck guys!
