This is the expected travel of the support vehicles and most of the riders.  Some people may wish to ride further or shorter, but I am hopeful that all Queensland riders meet at the Domain in Sydney on the Saturday morning to ride with the NSW contingent.  I know some people are travelling direct to Canberra as well.  Canberra accommodation is filling fast aparently.
