点评:Good ride, pleasant scenery, fairly flat so good for my 12 year old and I. Not really supported by the locals and I felt a odd vibe. Things I noticed:
- no accommodation available between Shelly and Tallangatta on all 3 occasions that I planned to do this trip. There are a couple of Air B n Bs in Bullioh but they never appear to be available and all of them advertise as supporting the rail trail riders and both have a requirement for a minimum 2 night stay....WTF?. The only accomodation choice seems to be the Tallangatta Motor Inn.
- no legal camping spots on the whole trail. There are a few reserves as you get close to Bonegilla which would make great camping spots but all 3 ban camping. Weird.
- No bike transport available at all. There is a taxi service in Wodonga which I used to get back my car in Tallangatta, $73 for a 15 minute drive and it took 30 minutes for him to come get me....should have just ridden back! I also tried to get an Uber and after a 20 minute wait discovered the Uber doesn't operate from Wodonga. Generally I rode for a bit a bit and then rode back to get the car.
Overall we enjoyed the ride but I probably wouldn't do it with my wife or younger kids because the distance between accomodation choices are too far and there aren't great transport options.
I strongly recommend the Murray to Mountains ride over this one, the locals there seem much more eager to make coin out of bike tourism.
翻译:骑行很愉快,风景宜人,地势相当平坦,对我和我 12 岁的孩子来说很不错。当地人并没有真正支持我,我感觉气氛很奇怪。我注意到的事情:
- 在我计划进行此行程的所有 3 次中,Shelly 和 Tallangatta 之间都没有住宿。Bullioh 有几家 Air B n B,但似乎从未有空房,而且它们都宣传支持铁路小径骑手,而且都要求至少入住 2 晚....WTF?唯一的住宿选择似乎是 Tallangatta Motor Inn。
- 整个小径上没有合法的露营地点。靠近 Bonegilla 时有一些保护区,可以作为很棒的露营地点,但所有 3 个保护区都禁止露营。很奇怪。
- 根本没有自行车交通工具。沃东加有出租车服务,我曾用它把车开回塔兰加塔,15 分钟的车程花了 73 美元,他花了 30 分钟才来接我……我应该直接骑车回去!我还试着叫了一辆 Uber,等了 20 分钟后发现 Uber 不在沃东加运营。通常我骑车一小会儿,然后骑车回去取车。
总的来说,我们很享受这次骑行,但我可能不会和我的妻子或年幼的孩子一起去,因为住宿地点之间的距离太远,而且交通选择也不多。
我强烈推荐从默里到山脉的骑行,而不是这个,当地人似乎更渴望通过自行车旅游赚钱。
