General Cycling Discussion - I has photos now :)

Greetings all.

If anybody is interested, the photos from my recent tour can now be viewed here (http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/the_chris_man_50/lst?.dir=/cycle+tour+of+South+Queensland+-+2001&.src=ph&.order=&.view=t&.done=http%3a//photos.yahoo.com/bc/the_chris_man_50/lst%3f.dir=/cycle%2btour%2bof%2bSouth%2bQueensland%2b-%2b2001%26.src=ph%26.view=t) .

I haven't uploaded the ones from the Border Ranges yet, because they are on a different film that I have yet to use up.

that is all.

Absolutely marvelous, Chris, thank you for sharing! :thumbup: :thumbup:

Very good. Thanks, Chris.

Great pics Chris. I'd love to go to Australia sometime. Looks like a beautiful place.

Great photos Chris. Scenery looks great. We lived near Sydney for a couple of years in the 60's (I was at Primary School) but unfortunately can't remember much of Oz.

My folks are planning a reminiscence trip this year tho'

Awesome photos Chris! You are lucky to be able to ride with scenery like that!

Film?? You still use film in Australia??
How quaint.

Looks like you could do some mountain biking around there...Muahahahhahahahahaaaaaaa!! Cool pics ChrisL!!!

Wonderful shots Chris.

Thanks for the viewing.

I was getting all excited thinking I'd see a photo of you Chris!!!

Anyway, gorgeous photos..nice one matey!

Rich :)

WOW!!
If you ever want to move to "un-scenic" Atlanta :rolleyes: I'll gladly swap homes with you. :D

Great pictures Chris!

Beats north Georgia (USA), and that takes some doing.

You've always said you liked hills, and biking in terrain like that for fun certainly proves it :eek:

Well, I'm nowhere near Sydney. If they get some time, they might want to pay a visit to South Queensland.

Only those of us who can't afford one of those spanky digital cameras (i.e. those who aren't called "Allister" :rolleyes: )

In all seriousness, there are lots of places I would have liked to do some mountainbiking if I'd had more time.

There is a photo of me somewhere on these forums. Not quite sure where though.

Not a chance, buddy! :D

I found this picture of Chris L
That is one heck of a hill he's climbing. Here's to ya Chris. :beer:

What do you think the grade of that incline is?

GHAD I'm jealous! Awesome scenery, thanks for sharing.

Here in western Canada the natural scenery comes pretty close.
Planning a tour this summer myself to discover it all.

Ahh, the Brisbane hills ride. Who could ever forget that? I'm not sure what the grade of that particular one was. I'm told some of them exceeded 30% :eek:

A bike is definitely the best way to do it. A lot of non-cyclists I know often try to talk down the scenery of South Queensland (and Australia generally). Of course, it couldn't possibly just be their mode of travel could it?

Envious me? Envious?

... Well just a little :D

but of course. I did mean a bike tour. What fun would it be any other way?

"I want to visit Down Under" (ever), gosh, the view is breathtaking, and this all in your backyard?

Pretty much, I didn't have the money to go anywhere by plane, and I had to come back and go to work in the middle of it to fund the rest of it.
