'God I need a bed' One of the hardest thing to get right is to arrange accommodations when you are planning a major biking epic. We at Bicyclemania have done the donkey work on three top routes, so all you have to do now, is see were the Trailfinders stopped of the night. The Pit-Stops used on these trails are all ideally distanced between our achievable riding fitness. Please bear in mind they may not suit some cyclists fitness levels.
