Having just bought myself a new Fuji Touring, and the mandatory Aged Brooks saddle (springs and all) for my 31st, ive come over all gushy and oldmanlike. Been busy scanning crazyguyonabike and various other touring sites and am rounding up mates for my inaugural Bathurst to Sydney firsttimeminitour.

So - who here harbours a dirty little touring secret?

secrets/tips/ride reports/bike pics etc etc??

Hmmn, it must be an age thing? I discarded the 4X bike, started riding track and doing looooong distance road rides.. all on the cusp of turning 30..

anyway, touring. Yep. I'm a big fan. Did a little question asking of fellower Farkineers a year or two ago.. these are the threads..
