Find yourself undiscovered, just like the crafty grand tour racers of old, and take yourself away from the regular trod beaten path.
Swim Wild Into the Eternal Gardens: Exploring the Bass Strait Coast
The eternal gardens of the Great Southern Reef coastal shelves, nooks, hidden bays and exposed beaches of Bass Strait are an escape worthy of King Neptune’s proclamation.

This Belgian lightweight super-responsive oversized-tubing carbon roadie is borne from the Ardennes, roads known to be tough, undulating, punctuated by gear-grinding climbs through the Walloon region. I’ve ridden those roads, they’re at times punchy, definitely cobbled, certainly meandering with tight medieval corners perfect for defending against the steely swords of King Arthur’s mysticism.
