Title: Thorn Sherpa: its first multi-day tour: pics
Post by: Vintagetourer on June 01, 2011, 11:31:47 am

Last week I completed a long-awaited first multi-day, loaded tour on my Thorn Sherpa which I collected from SJS in 2009 and brought back to Australia.

The Sherpa worked brilliantly and is, as I'd hoped, ideal for this type of touring.

More info and lots of pics at:

Congratulations from one out-of-shape cycle-tourist to another now less-out of shape cycle tourist!

Excellent indepth coverage of your tour VT, almost feel like I completed it with you - the pics and narrative provide a great sense of your journey, quite possibly the best report I've ever seen to date, and I've read quite a few!  

PS You're clearly a dab hand with what looks like to be a decent camera!  If you haven't done so already, I would add your link here, a great forum for researching cycle tours!

Well ridden and well written VT.

Good to see some Australian content.

Cheers,

Thanks Peter, thanks Fred...I am hoping the "House to House on a thorn" journal does encourage at least a few other riders to try the Parliament House to Opera House tour as it offers a lot of variety, and itinerary flexibility, in a relatively short stint. The CityRail services nearby are an added bonus.
And yes...I'll have a look at Trentobike site.
Regards Graham
