Over the past 4 years the Ghostriders have completed no less than 9 overseas adventure challenges. Well over 100 participants have completed 1 or more of these trips which have taken us to an amazing assortment of locations. Some of the locations that stand out particularly are
From small beginnings big things can often grow. When we completed our first overseas challenge in 2006 I did not realise that this would become such a big part of my life. These trips have now developed a life of their own and I now have many more trips under development for the years ahead. Our next trip will take us back to Europe in 2011 to complete a much longer ride (about 1200km) through Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic. This trip was booked out 12 months prior to departure so that gives a good indication of just how popular they can be. Other trips under active consideration include - another trip to Nepal, a third trip to Tiger Leaping Gorge, a return to South America, a Vietnam cycle and a possible trek in Ladakh. That should keep us busy for a little while....
I am now in a position to use the experience that I have gained from planning and leading the Ghostrider trips to assist other groups develop adventures of their own. You don't necessarily have to have a large group. In fact, groups can be as small as 4 participants and can involve a range of activities and levels of difficulty. The list of possible destinations is almost endless, taking in every continent on the planet (yes, even Antarctica). No matter what your age or degree of fitness might be, there are still plenty of adventures out there, just waiting for you to step out and experience them.
If you think you would like to join one of our adventures or form a group of your own, feel free to call me on 03 5968 3307 to discuss some of the possibilities. Life is too short to live with regrets and who knows where that first step might end up taking you ?

Most of us never realise just what we are capable of achieving until we are put to the test - than what an amazing feeling of accomplishment you get when the goal is achieved. It might not be as spectacular as climbing Mt Everest, but for each of us there is our own "Everest" to conquer. For some it might be the first time overseas or the first time exposed to a different culture. All adventures combine a physical challenge with an emotional challenge - but the rewards can be life changing.
In 2011 it will be back to Europe to complete a longer ride from the Black Forest region of Germany through to Vienna , then from Prague through to Dresden.
In all of our overseas tours (almost) everything is provided, including air fares, accomodation, most meals, bicycle hire, support vehicle, expert guide, etc. The cost is remarkably inexpensive when you consider what you get for the money.
So many spend all their lives dreaming of taking an adventure but then spend even longer thinking of reasons why they can't do it. Step out of the comfort zone and do something that could change your life forever.
