Subject: Bike tours in Australia?? It looks like the Peleton Forum has disappeared and the Australia forum has little traffic, so putting it here since it's not directly tri-related. A good friend moved back to Australia (Brisbane ) last year, and I have a standing invite to visit her during my Tet break from February 4 to 14. She'll be working full-time during that period, so my thought was to find a cycle tour in the region for 5-7 days and then spend some time with her at the beginning and/or end of the tour. But my online search isn't yielding much--mainly Australia based companies that send riders to Europe and Asia.
I'd like to join a small group guided ride as I'd be traveling on my own. Not an amazing cyclist, but I'd want to ride in the 50-100 km range most days, preferably not a really fast or competitive setup--when not training I like to cruise along, take pictures, enjoy a beach or two, indulge in some local food and wine-tasting if the opportunity presents itself. It doesn't need to be a super luxurious trip, but not particularly into camping as I don't have the equipment here. I could bring my own road bike if needed, but might be cheaper/more convenient to rent.
Any recommendations for routes and/or companies that might offer this type of trip within an easy drive/flight of Brisbane? Edited by Hot Runner 2015-11-07 4:57 AM
