Start of the 2002 RTA Big Ride
-
Summary: 580km of quiet, rural Northern NSW. Tiny towns and warm weather. 1200 cyclists.
-
Highlights: The Police support and general motorist behaviour was the best I’ve experienced yet.
-
Low points: The headaches and hassles of getting to and from the ride. Airlines, airports, trains, taxis and buses all seemed to conspire to make everything more difficult than it should be.
