Middlesbrough to Melbourne
mike61yorkie:
Hi everyone
I set off from Middlesbrough, England on the 7th March 2018 with the plan to cycle to Australia! I’m a total newbie to the world of cycle touring and will be making plenty of mistakes along the way, but hopefully having plenty of fun.
I purchased a Thorn Nomad for the trip and after only a hundred miles I’m congratulating myself for choosing such a brilliant bike. I know it’s a bit of a tank, but it just ‘feels ‘ so capable and nothing will stop it!
I’m not particularly very techno/social media savvy, so my daughter has set up a Facebook page ‘Where’s Dools?’ , where I will post regular updates along the way.
I’m looking forward to being part of the Thorn community, so any tips and advice would be greatly welcomed . Cheers Mike
Repeat:
Great stuff - living the dream (or at least my dream). What route are you planning on taking?
PH:
Sounds like a great trip, but I can't find the facebook page (Though that may be my lack of social media savvy...)
jags:
well fair play to you that's gonna be some adventure way beyond anything i'd do on a bike 8)
advice have a blast dont come home with a pocket full of money ;)
anto. .
