Surviving one of Australia's Toughest Bike Packing Routes: REMOTE 450km, 6000m Elevation!

There’s something unique about bike packing in Australia. The rugged and unpredictable terrain calls our adventurous spirit and sparks a primal need for freedom and personal conquest. Luckily, you don’t need to go far, to escape everyday reality. A few hours of riding in any direction will lead to an unforgettable off grid bike packing adventure.

Tell me your favourite moment from the film!

[@ChristoNorman]

I love the freedom.

[@Steve1215616]

Great video Max! You and I do bike packing differently - I definitely would have slept IN the Linville pub, not across the road on a bench! I call it years of life experience ;) And, I'm glad your mate explained he was in the shower cubical next to you, because otherwise it sounded like the highlight of his trip was having a shower with you!

[@maxxyhobson]

Hahah good one. Thanks Steve! BPS 400 is on in January, hoping to see you there... It's a lot less brutal than the BPS 300 ;)

[@craigsteffens4927]

What happens on tour, stays on tour!😆

[@advanturest]

Hey Max, I didn’t know you were a quitter 😜
In all seriousness though. What a great adventure. Well done for putting it together, if I did it I’d still be out there walking up hills 😂 Also great job by the crew at Limmel. I’m frothing to get out and ride bikes and play with cameras ✌️

[@maxxyhobson]

Thank you Tim! Yep was very tough on that knee haha. I really enjoy watching your videos, keen to see more!

[@Steakboyuniverse6969-y2m]

Unreal

[@maxxyhobson]

Thanks for being apart of it mate 🙏

[@deniseprince9498]

Excellent film guys. Well done! So great to see a bike packing film from Australia.

[@maxxyhobson]

Thanks Denise, was so much fun.

[@edzeppelin933]

What are the bars on the bike ridden by the guy with curly hair?

[@maxxyhobson]

Hey mate they are Nitto’s Siskiyou bar!

[@breathestrongcycling3672]

lived in SE Qld for over ten years riding motorcycles and honestly NEVER saw a cyclist, clearly things have changed! Now back on the treadlies and living in the Philippines...sadly all the good dirt is being covered in concrete....

[@maxxyhobson]

I know right :( #savethedirt

[@andrelloyd4010]

A wonderful video with stimulating content - great topographical captures and fun narratives ! Many thanks guys and happy pedalling 🙏

[@walkingcyclingcruisingaus]

Great film guys. I'm sure it will inspire others to get out on their bikes and explore our amazing country.

[@RIZVANEFFENDY]

so much fun guys! I really enjoy it !! hhehe

[@lighthunter1980]

Great editing and story telling. I am too much stuck in work and family life... If I were in my twenties again I would join such an adventure!

[@Loves2smoodge]

Quality content. Raw, real and relatable.

[@harrisoncandlin]

So sweet. Gets me itching to pack the bike up and go for the ride!

[@maxxyhobson]

Cheers Harrison!

[@beneric1000]

Nice video. I am a Professional Videographer and I was just wondering what cameras you are using.

[@harrisoncandlin]

Hi, we used a mixture of the BMPCC 6K and the Fujifilm X-T4 along with the DJI air 2S and a couple of GoPro's. Cheers

[@DreamingBig]

Bloody brilliant work. This was epic to watch

[@maxxyhobson]

Thanks Cahn, so stoked you enjoyed it.

[@kenhobson6018]

In a word epic! So well done.

[@bitsandgigs]

Hard to watch ppl riding with no helmet… cringe!

[@Bikepacking]

Well filmed

[@MickTurnbullFilms]

Great film. Well done.

[@maxxyhobson]

Thanks Mick! I just watched your Munda Biddi trail vid - so epic!

[@LuenWarneke]

Awesome! And gravel cartel beer 👌

[@mapk4655]

Sick edit! I saw you guys out there on the first day (I was the kid on an Orange Merida One-Twenty) and it wasn't until I met another guy who was doing it staying at the same hotel as us that I learnt about the BPS400. Hopefully I can do it next year. Looks so fun.

[@maxxyhobson]

Glad to ear you liked it. Nice mate - you'll have to join us for the next adventure - stay tuned on Instagram @bikepackshop :)

[@mapk4655]

@@maxxyhobson yeah already following. I'm getting a gravel bike soon so that should be a lot faster than my 17kg trail bike. I'll have to get all the bags from you guys as well.

[@tonyasmus9106]

Hey Maxxy enjoyed it mate, was a good watch 😊

[@clairevero]

Sick? What does that mean in English?

[@maxxyhobson]

@@clairevero it can be compared to the word “rad”. It’s Australian slang.

[@brettoau84]

Enjoyed the doco, cheers!

[@maxxyhobson]

So glad you enjoyed it Brett!

[@olivercarpenter7563]

is there a 2024 event planned?

[@possum_on_bike]

Very nice! I like it!

[@sc9698]

Super video, super adventure. Do you have a map, or route from the trip somewhere to see here you all went?

[@maxxyhobson]

Thanks, it was very challenging, but also very rewarding! The route is on this page down the bottom - bikepackshop.com/bps-400-2/

[@RUS-gw6rz]

Soulful

[@rxsamar]

Awesome film gentlemen!

[@alextunbridge2077]

Great story telling.

[@luvtheceltics]

great job lads

[@robsmith2294]

Is there a way to see the route you took?

[@maxxyhobson]

Hey Rob - you can find it here bikepackshop.com/bps-400-2/

[@elesan_cc]

What’s that song on the 28:54 mark?

[@maxxyhobson]

Hey mate, I'm not sure of the song exactly, but it's from a band called Night Diver, check them out on Spotify!

[@xjamis]

Groovy tunes

[@maxxyhobson]

So groovy!

[@Stu-ky5ut]

So good 😊

[@maxxyhobson]

Thanks Stu - glad you enjoyed ;)
