I must agree......
That part of the country gets MUCH hotter, MUCH sooner than the southern areas. Even April is probably too early in the season..... I'd be inclined
to leave it until May
to September.......
Track conditions can vary sooooo much that it is not possible
to you a definitive answer such as "April the tracks are great, but October they are no good" etc. They can change just by the
grader taking a run over them; in which case part/s of the track may be very good whilst other parts could be corrogated and/or have stretches of bull-dust. Basically, you need
to assume track conditions will require you
to slow down
to a max speed of 80k/h
to stay safe.
You WILL also need
to be prepared
to alter your tyre pressures or otherwise be prepared
to shake hands with Adam Plate at the
Pink Roadhouse and he will happily swipe your nice shiny plastic card through his EFTPOS machine and relieve of a good proportion of your hard-earned dosh......
i don't believe you are trying
to cram too much in
to your 4 weeks, but you won't be able
to afford
to spend more than 1 night in the vast majority of locations you stop at. You also need
to be prepared
to spend some long days in the saddle
to get you away from civilisation in the first instance.
