The start of my Bikepacking trip from Melbourne to Sydney (well, Croydon to Coledale but close enough..). First time doing anything like this, filming or editing anything like this too haha, so bare with me. Heavily inspired by the legend @EdPratt to do something like this. Day 1 covers Croydon to Yallourn North, and Day 2 onwards toward Bairnsdale. Playlist of songs I listened to on this trip:...

      @@dannydonehue I've been enjoying my move over to path and gravel cycling after 35-odd years of riding Melbourne's roads. The traffic has become too aggressive against cyclists, and the gravel trails take a more scenic and relaxed pace away from most pedestrians and gives my brain a reset. It's been nearly 2 years since I was out Croydon way and I'm thinking I need to drag my sorry butt up Tarralla Creek Trail again.

    Great effort on completing the ride. Guessing when you started planning this thing you were thinking about issues with the heat... but seems like you encountered your fair share of rain. Hope you have replaced your spoke - the J style spokes on your wheel I find to be way more prone to braking than straight-pull ones. Thanks for the video series

    • @dannydonehue
      @dannydonehue Місяць тому

      Yeah I was definitely more scared of a heatwave than the rain. In the end I think I was quite lucky weather-wise. Most of the trip was quite mild, overcast with the occasional hot day. I think the rain at the end although annoying at the time, ended up being a great way to finish! Wouldn’t have wanted to get that drenched half way through 🥶🥶.

We are amazed at just how many kilometres you achieve each day. Especially carrying all your camping gear. When I'm bikepacking I only aim at about half your distances each day. Although, being retired, means I can take my time.

      The trestle bridges were awesome to see, well worth to see them in person to take in their sheer scale. Was a great ride through east Gippsland. I recon when I plan another trip, I'd be happy to reduce my km's per day significantly and spend more time exploring the places along the way.
