Thanks Jonathan!

Cheers Noel :))

thank you for your invaluable support, kitty

Thank you :)) They do look so cute heheh.

Thanks for you comment and email. Check your inbox!

Cheers Mate :))) That was the biggest thing for me. I was fairly nervous about it, but knew that once I actually got pedalling it would all fade away, and it did! Gave me so much confidence and freedom, lots of fear alleviated. Racing @ night? Rad!!

Without sounding sexist I just thought you were very brave......I think it will give you alot of confidence in life......well done I used to race mtb night races.

@@plodincurrumbin4848 it doesn't sound sexist to me. There's just the reality of being a young woman out there alone... it's different than if I were a man. It has given me so much in all the other areas of my life - so valuable. MTB @ night?!! That's gnarly!

Thanks dude :)))

Cheers David. It means a lot :))

Thanks man (: Oh, enjoy! I did another ride out there last week and the cooler weather is making for even better riding and conditions. I reckon 2 days is the way to do it if you're doing 160km and return. Get to take it in more!

Cheers Paul!

No sweat Josh :)

Thanks a heap. 2 days is the way to go, I reckon. Major effort to do 160km a day AND you get to take in your surroundings way more and rush less. That's how I'll do it when I head back out there. Thanks for the kind words :))

You're going to nail it, Robert. The biggest thing for me was just pacing it. I wanted to go faster @ the beginning but tried to keep it steady the whole way and reckon that made the ride feel so successful. And food / water. Consistently eat and hydrate in little mouthfuls and sips. Does your ride start in Ipswich or Yarraman?

@@midnight___lightning Hi It's starting in Ipswich so we get to go up the range😬. I've ridden the whole trail several times, just not all in one go. I think I have the nutrition sorted plus the event is fully supported with everything I'll need including food etc

@@MrRobertjusher perfect direction!! Oh that's brilliant that you don't have to think about carrying your own food. Let me know how you go, mate. Keen to hear :)

@@midnight___lightning the ride went well. Just under 8 hours. Not bad for a old guy. Thanks for posting your video

@@MrRobertjusher brilliant, Robert! Would have been beautiful weather out there too!

Thanks Brendon :)

I’ve wanted to do this ride for a while and your video inspired me to get out and take a look. I did Linville to Yarraman and back today and I’m properly shagged. You are a bloody machine! But after today’s taste I’m keen to do the whole thing. Thanks for the inspiration✌🏻

@@Greyghost_138 Heck yeah, dude. That's an effort in itself. I love that section. An absolute pleasure :))

Thanks Hai 🙂 You should definitely go for it. It's a rad track. My bike's a Rondo (Al Ruut). Unfortunately you can't get em in Aus. I bought it whilst living in Europe!

@@midnight___lightning thank you Sophie 🙂

@@MrHaizor you're very welcome. Let me know how you go!!

@@midnight___lightning i will defs do! Will need to do some longer rides first. I have been watching a few videos on your channel. Your family have got super cool classic cars 😍😍

@@MrHaizor the good thing is it's pretty flat which makes the big mileage pretty accessible! Hahaha, I'll pass that on to my folks. They'll be pleased (:

Hey.... sorry about the late reply. Just saw this. I didn't train for this. It was a spontaneous decision made a few days before. In saying that, I was regularly riding my bike to work (about 15km there) and active on a daily basis with hiking and riding. So that fun stuff must add up over time :)

@@midnight___lightning oh true! I’m a bit the same, hiking/riding bits and pieces on the reg. Hoping to do what you did very soon!

@@Spotto26 then I think you'll be great!! It's flat so that works in our favour. Plus, I think the biggest thing I kept in mind was pacing. I kept it consistent, but never pushed it (until the last 3-5hrs because my light was malfunctioning ha and I was trying to stay awake). But I reckon that's what made it a success. I never felt physically smashed.... oh and I made a very conscious effort to sip water ever 15mins (that'll be much easier and natural to do in warmer November) and to eat. I often forget to eat on the bike. Let me know how you go!!!!

@@midnight___lightning thanks for the tips! Yep November was my plan! I actually did Yarraman to Wulkuraka in one day last year, which I found incredibly difficult. Hoping with a bit more training I can double it this time!

@@Spotto26 already a crazy effort, so you defs have it in you to double it! I found that once I hit the halfway mark and turned round, that it held quite a bit of mental relief.... knowing that I was on the way "home". So I wouldn't think about the whole 320km - because especially when you're deep it in, that can be a bit overwhelming. I'd just work it in 20km lots or something. Whatever mileage number appeals to you. Or towns. I would only think about the next town etc. Plus, I'd also recommend going from Wulkuraka to Yarraman and return because you get the "downhill" or your way back which is pretty nice :)

Of course. It was early April :)

@@midnight___lightning Thanks ....... im going to test myself and do it in November. I've already done Nanango to Wulkuraka in the day. I think a 9pm start maybe better in November.

@@plodincurrumbin4848 Rad! You'll miss the magpies that way then :)

@@midnight___lightning "When you are happy" I saw this post yesterday.. I do hope things get better soon for you. 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤙

@@plodincurrumbin4848 thank you so much mate. I appreciate the good vibes bigtime....! ❤️

Thank you!
