• do it into a headwind all the way

    I'd expect nothing less from Oz, especially with my ability to attract shit weather.

    I'd really have to lift my game if I was going off-road there. I can get away with poor planning and skipping water refills in Europe (ie. Badlands got unpleasant but not risky) but it could prove less annoying and more dangerous over there.

  • Yes, don't want to wing it wrt resupply over there!
    I tended to be over cautious and, a couple of times, I ended up chucking away water that I wouldn't use for another day. But I still got unconfortably thirsty a couple of times too.

    But I got the impression that the off-road riding is mostly easier, unless you go looking for hills. Things like Rttr are much flatter than Europe, and Sarah says she went from complete novice off road to winning stuff in a couple of years / 1 ride.

  • Both, hunt 1000 and Vic divide are pretty lumpy, but they absolutely did go looking for hills when they designed it.
