Quick update.

The feedback is incorrect in it's substance. The ride in the 90's took 3 days, in a group, on trail bikes and with full Kimm sacks. That is quite and achievement, though, especially considering one guy had to be carted off to hospital on day 2 which curtailed that day's riding.

I'm trying to get a hold of the copy of the route that they took, in case there are any little gems in there for me to peruse.
