Randonnee guys, there will be dirt, there will be beer, there will be fun. Cheeky Monkey already have 3 teams of 6 entered, surely we can do better.

I'm interested in this, and I've got a few extra kg's. Are you riding a road bike with dif tyres?

Hi Ben, Yes it's a road bike event but tough tyres are recommended. Matt, who was on the Vietnam trip I did recently and who is organising this ride recommends 25mm at least. He started Vietnam on 23 mms and punctured a lot, switched to 25's and was much better, they're also more comfortable on the gravel. Having said that Aussie dirt roads should be gentler than Vietnamese ones.

We have a spot on our team if you want to join us, currently myself, Peter Bownes, James Rogers and Andrew Mattes.

Otherwise start a list, as is the DHBC way.
