Pack Riding Tips

Here's some basic tips that will allow you to have both a safe and enjoyable ride, each and every day on the road from Cairns to Karumba

Selecting a Pack

Select a pack based on the speed you can average over the course of a full day.

Pack 1-2: 35-40km/h
Pack 3-4: 30-35km/h
Pack 5-6: 28-32km/h
Pack 7-8: 20-28km/h

This is a rough guide as actual travelling speed may be 5-10km/h faster or slower at any given time.


NB: A rider can opt to move to a faster/slower pack at any point in the ride. Simply make the move at a drink stop, or prior to departing a town or lunch stop.
