  1. I am planning a 2 or 3 day unsupported ride from Melb to Canberra in a
    few weeks time.

    Distance is 650km.

    If 3 days, stops would be at Wangaratta, and Tarcutta pubs. If 2 days,
    stop at an Albury pub (very modest tarrifs!).

    2 days is optimistic for me, especially given 3 or 4 serious hills in
    NSW. But, I will probably set off with a 2 day goal, and see how it
    goes. Strong cross winds in NSW could also be a factor.

    Intend to bus back to Melb, although, if I am still alive, I would
    contemplate a return ride!

    Anyone interested in joining me?

    Sounds terrible if you intend going along the Hume, I would suggest a
    route through the mountains. Some of us here in Canberra have ridden
    Canberra > Bright for the Audax Alpine

    There's more than 3 or 4 serious hills in NSW Rod. Your not plannin
    on ridng just along the Highway / freeway are you? There's lots o
    nicer routes than that if you wanted to spend an extra day or so
