CAMPING EQUIPMENT SUPPLIED

What to take on the bike

Make sure you take tools specific to your motorbike.

Spare tubes front and rear (a 21 inch or 19 inch tube can usually fit both rim sizes).

Water to drink on the ride, it could get very dusty and water on the go will help you replenish a dry mouth and throat.

Clothes, it goes without saying but please make sure you wear protective gear including boots, pants, jacket, gloves and helmet.

General Tips

What to put in the support vehicle

Clothes and shoes for Saturday night, bathroom bag. Please note: all bedding, doonas, pillows and towels are supplied at the accommodation. Please don’t bring a large bike bag, keep your clothes to a minimum.

While there might seem to be plenty of room in the Mile Munchin’ Adventures support trailer, if we need to carry one or two broken-down bikes it soon gets very tight.

Bike & Tips Maintenance

The support vehicle does carry some spare items but these don’t always fit all bikes so make sure you bring spares for your particular bike. Particularly if it is known to have regular issues.
