This has been a fascinating series to watch Steve. Your narrative abilities have become so well defined. I'm sure that so many others are getting a lot of enjoyment viewing your Australia travels.
Really enjoyed your trip. No frills, easy to watch but great scenery (especially by drone) and your entertaining anecdotes, made it quite interesting. Thanks!
Another awesome production... thanks! My interest is exploring tracks in the Central Desert and Interior. When discovering Steve's 'MDP' a few years ago I thought I would pass on anything not related to Central Australia. But now, as soon as I hear Steve's voice, I just have to watch whatever adventure he takes us on, from beginning to end... see you on the other side!
@@mongreldogproductions I am also a big Len Beadell 'Disciple' so it tops off the pleasure of watching your productions, knowing you admire what this great man, and his GRCP, achieved too 👍 Eoin.
Steve,@7:30 Philip had been waiting for you, so you could help him get the recumbent over the barrier that’s why he told you later on it was only a kilometre to the cycle path, it’s called payback😉 . 👍🏴
Pretty gutsy riding down Gorge Road Stevo, I learnt to drive around there in the late 70's anyway great video mate. I was at (Lo ba thaul) the other day, I live in the hills.
Good ride mate. BTW, Adelaide has some of the best cycling infrastructure in Australia. Not the highest bar I know, but it’s pretty good. A bit of local knowledge goes a long way of course, but it’s an easy place to ride generally. The tour down under starts this week and there are literally tens of thousands of cyclists from all over the world here now. For future reference, if you stayed on the bike path you started on (the Torrens linear park) you would have ridden past 3 caravan parks closer to the city. Anyway, a great series 👍
Yeah, I acknowledge I may have been a bit harsh...I didn't mean to offend. I was probably delirious by then. I did find some great bike paths from the city to the coastline the following day and really enjoyed myself then. I hope I can be forgiven.
Well done Steve another great installment of adventures with Steve. Always good to see you out and about doing something cool and this series definitely didn’t disappoint. I look forward to your next adventure. I’ll probably be seeing you next time I’m in Perth.
Ridden those valley roads many times. Lovely descent into Adelaide. It's more bike friendly than you think with the TDU hosted there, just go for it and don't cower in the gutters. I always stay at the Adelaide meridian hotel in North Adelaide in the executive rooms, they cater for cyclists well and you can keep you bike in the room, and there's a pool which is a bonus.
Good on yer Steve, and great to see the conclusion to another successful adventure. I ride my e-bike and enjoy it, but planting my ass on it for 90km in a day, I couldn't hack the pace, and I doubt many others could too. Thanks for taking us along and looking forward to your next ride wherever that may be.
Good trip Steve - Thanks for sharing. Amazing to see the naff bike infrastructure at the home of the 'Tour Down Under' . Makes me glad to live in Perth - we're spoilt and we didn't realise it.
Adelaide actually has very good cycling infrastructure ( for Australia). You do need to do a bit of research of course, but it’s an easy place to get around on a bike. Plenty of bike lanes and shared paths.

@@mongreldogproductions all good Steve, understandable and you didn’t offend me. The linear park is a great bike / walking path and once you get to the beach you can ride north for about 20km and south for probably 50, all off road pretty much. I enjoyed the series and learned some new things from you, despite being a born and bred Croweater. Cheers 😎🍻
Hey Steve, really enjoyed watching this adventure. For a 66 year old bloke you’re fitter than 99% of the other blokes your age. Keep it up!! Looking forward to seeing where your adventure takes you next
@@mongreldogproductions I remember finding your video "Cycle Touring Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand" 7 years ago. At the time I'd been living in Thailand and had hoped to do something similar. Unfortunately, in 2015 my mum was diagnosed with dementia so I had to come back to take care of her as her primary carer. Not long after passing away in 2021, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer and I've been fighting that ever since. The treatments/medication has left me fatigued but I'm planning on getting an e-bike to at least try and go on some adventures of my own. I'll be 66 in August so your adventures give me inspiration. All the best.
@@alfredstimoli2590 Hi Alfred, Sad to read about your health issues...an Ebike will make all the difference and allow you to get back out there. You dont have to push the boundaries; just get back to what makes you happy and bring enjoyment. Good luck for the future.
G/day Steve the missus and I have just done 3 months dragging the porta loo around SA before heading to TAS . Some of the roads/tracks are bloody brilliant great diversity from desert to sea. Just windy most of the time.Riding around on a lectric bike …. You got bigger kahoonas than me. Nice one mate!!!
I’ve really enjoyed this series Steve. Thanks so much for sharing your ride. I’m just at the very beginning of exploring/considering bike touring and your travels have inspired me greatly.
Hi Sam, with me, it all started with a ride to the shops. Next thing you know you’re touring SEAsia😂😂😂😂. Glad you enjoyed the journey….go and create your own. Good luck. 😀
@@mongreldogproductions I rode a 25km round trip to the supermarket via a favourite river spot (NE Vic) this morning. You’ve inspired!!! I’m on my way ☺️
Thanks for sharing your travels, Enjoyed it very much. You obviously have gone to a lot of trouble to get the shots you did. I thought I may have been beyond me to do a similar ride until I saw your 90 year old mate, perhaps not. Thanks again.
Good on ya Steve. So glad I stumbled on to your motorcycle videos. They're always interesting but I find the cycle vids just as good. You've got a great 'get on and do it' attitude with a bit of humour too. I look forward to what's next. See you on the other side... Jim. Uk. 👍🏻
Great series Steve, thoroughly enjoyed it. I am throwing the bike into the back of the ute in a few days to head across the Nullabor and ride the Mawson north to South too. I was going to delay watching the end of the series until after I had done it but couldn't resist watching it now.
@@person.X. I am heading for South Korea in a couple of weeks time…they have a thing called the 4 Rivers Cycle Path. That should keep me entertained for most of October. See you on the other side.
@@person.X. ruclips.net/video/Bc9UwT7XCo8/видео.htmlsi=LZfClQiqQolghYEs At the 31:02 of this vid you’ll come to a junction. Go straight ahead…it is the original cycle path. The guys in the recumbents have no choice but to go that way…no way they can do the single track. If you veer right here it becomes a real ball breaker. Good luck. Enjoy the Adventure.
I've now watched the whole trip, fantastic effort mate, well done, both on doing the Mawson and the video. Great to see you had Kenny & Phillip in the video too - they stayed here at Eudunda when they rode the Lavender Cycling Trail, before tackling the Mawson. Safe travels and a Happy and Safe New Year.
Thank you for sharing this series. Some very nice photography too. I half expected there to be an ending scene where you show up at your house and the missus asks if you remembered to pick up some sugar at the store ..
16:38 Do Not Lay Flat - yeah assuming the Baggage Chuckers can read! I double-layered my bike box [second-layer of cardboard: Wood-Glue] and put the plastic end-caps on the axle ends and they still managed to get the axle to punch clean-through the box ; I estimate it would take 200kilos of luggage laid >flat< on top of the box to ''achieve'' that. Could someone tell the Chuckers that we don't care if the bike falls over; we care if it's crushed?!
Yeah, I feel your pain. It’s happened to me also. One time it almost jeopardised my trip in Sri Lanka because of mis treatment during transit. No respect! Thanks for watching.
Great series.. well done .. must of been a challenge getting the recumbent trike over the fence obstacle 😀.. looking forward to your next e-bike ride 👍
Fantastic Series. I'm walking the Heysen trail (in sections during season) and it's been great seeing spots I've travelled. Great video logs of your travels. I would love to get a E bike one day but I'm no cyclist. What a great adventure.
Brilliant video Steve. I have greatly enjoyed your attention to detail on this inspiring trip. Interesting detail info about the battery shipping that I hadn't conidered too. Bit of hard finish for you at the end but I bet you really enjoyed your first beer in Adelaide🤠👍
Wow - did you know your first bit of droning was under the flight approach to Adelaide Airport. No doubt you watched your height carefully as a good grasshopper would. Another lovely series Steve; hoped you really enjoyed your visit to SA.
It was an honest mistake. The side of the river I was on had no notifications about drone use. When I crossed the river I noticed signs indicating a no-drone zone. Oops. I do keep it below 120 metres.
Wasn’t going to watch the cycling videos but got sucked in😂. Enjoyed the Mawson track. That was a long hike through very dry country. I drive through a few of those towns going from BH to Adelaide. You only really get much civilisation just before Burra. Interesting trip even though I was exhausted just watching you pedal the whole way. 😊
Always a good watch, you’re a natural at what you do and I feel like I want to do the same trip lol. Keep up the awesome work and can’t wait for your next adventure! Cheers
Enjoyed the series, thanks. A pity you didn't continue on the Linear Trail all the way along, it's a beautiful bike path all the way into Radelaide. For others looking for accommodation near Lobethal when on bikes, a simple Google search would find pub accommodation a few ks away in Woodside, or a bit further in the other direction in Mt Torrens which is at the end of the Amy Gillette riding trail. Or Cudlee Creek, Hahndorf etc etc. I reckon you could've pitched your tent at the Loby oval, they're a pretty friendly mob there. Happy travels!
Also, for interstate riders, it's perfectly legal for cyclists to use any footpaths at a safe speed. I think in NSW it's only kids or adults with a child in the child seat. Not sure about other states.
Well done for doing the M.T. I felt knackered just watching....With the Tour Downunder on here... everyone is cycling mad.... other months not so much. I cringed at some of the drone shots.... you're directly under the flightpath for RWY23 for Adelaide airport.
It was an honest mistake. The side of the river I was on had no notifications about drone use. When I crossed the river I noticed signs indicating a no-drone zone. Oops. I do keep it below 120 metres.
I wasn't having a go at you btw. I had a scary moment with a rogue droneflyer while doing circuits in a small aircraft at Gawler airfield a few years back.
THANKS FOR THE TRIP STEVE NEXT TIME YOU COME LET US KNOW PLACE IN THE BAROSSA WE COULD REMANISS GOOD LUCK & keepthe chain lubed 73s tim ps i need a hand to get an old k100 up to scratch
Enjoyed the ride and videos. Doesn't matter now but had you stayed on the River Torrens Linear Park Trail there are 3 caravan parks to choose from, maybe they were full ? Handy to know when you do it again 😉
Where would you like to go… I’m thinking of cycle touring South Korea later in the year. Before that, I have a mini adventure on the DR650, I’ll be riding from Canberra to Coffs in May on the R1200, a 4 week 4WD trip in June, a long motorcycle adventure it the Kimberly on my R1200 and I’m sure something will come up in the meantime to fill in the gaps. So much to do; so little time. 😀
@@mongreldogproductions Wow your amazing. And I'm here planning a Munda Biddi ride thinking thats good but then I have a few more years on me than you. Got to keep oneself on the go or else it catches up to you. If I can still be riding anywhere near the 90year old you tracked in this series I'd be a happy man.
no flats, mechanicals, broken bones, getting lost ( no shortage of bad trail markings) . great adventure. onto the next.....which is? back on the Beemer?

@@robdotcom71 to quote you…”all good Rob”.
😀
Steve , country folk are awesome. Ask the grounds staff and permission will probably be granted.
Yeah, probably. Cooking was gunna be another issue and access to toilets/showers. It wasnt life or death.
THANKS FOR THE TRIP STEVE NEXT TIME YOU COME LET US KNOW PLACE IN THE BAROSSA WE COULD REMANISS GOOD LUCK & keepthe chain lubed 73s tim ps i need a hand to get an old k100 up to scratch
I'm no good with the K100...speak to the guys at the BMW Club of SA. I'm sure they could lend a hand.
Enjoyed the ride and videos. Doesn't matter now but had you stayed on the River Torrens Linear Park Trail there are 3 caravan parks to choose from, maybe they were full ? Handy to know when you do it again 😉
Hi ssSA, live and learn...
😀
Thanks Steve enjoyed this series immensely. Where will you be taking us next?
Where would you like to go…
I’m thinking of cycle touring South Korea later in the year. Before that, I have a mini adventure on the DR650, I’ll be riding from Canberra to Coffs in May on the R1200, a 4 week 4WD trip in June, a long motorcycle adventure it the Kimberly on my R1200 and I’m sure something will come up in the meantime to fill in the gaps. So much to do; so little time.

Wow your amazing. And I'm here planning a Munda Biddi ride thinking thats good but then I have a few more years on me than you. Got to keep oneself on the go or else it catches up to you. If I can still be riding anywhere near the 90year old you tracked in this series I'd be a happy man.
@@gcmuscatman6726 the Munda Biddi is tough in places…ensure you train for the challenge. Good luck. Enjoy.
Defiantly could have camped there as you left the fox creek bike park. That’s my place
Live and learn.

If they had not put the stile on the fire track, you would be riding your GS along there. I was tinking about doing it.😂
Couldn't image tryin' to drag my R1200 over that...
How did Phil get his recumbent over that dodgy fence? Been a great adventure. enjoyed every bit.
Yeah, what a bummer. He had to strip it down (all the gear off) and then lift it over. Not easy to do.
no flats, mechanicals, broken bones, getting lost ( no shortage of bad trail markings) . great adventure. onto the next.....which is? back on the Beemer?
Watch this space! 😀
@@mongreldogproductions you know I do 😎👍
