It’s called the Munda Biddi trail. I believe it is the longest continuous off road cycling trail in the world at over 1,000km.  [https://www.mundabiddi.org.au/trip-planning/maps/online-map](https://www.mundabiddi.org.au/trip-planning/maps/online-map) It’s really a bike packing or gravel route rather than a MTB trail. I’ve ridden large portions of it over the years, particularly the first third closet to Perth. The more southern two thirds of it has breathtaking scenery, by Western Australian standards. Although it doesn’t hold a candle to the backdrops you guys have in North America and Europe.  The real fun is had in the fact that it connects to lots of the more technical trails in the regions it passes through. The Munda Biddi is the highway that gets you to them, and they are the real goal of this trip. We will be trying to get in as many as we can from about halfway to three quarters of the way down. There are guys that will pick us up from our accomodation, drop us off where we want to start the day, and pick us up at the end.  I’m pretty bored with the Perth trails and looking for some inspiration as I’ve been given permission to use machinery to clear some trails in a forest reserve near my farm. Being able to use a quad bike or skid steer  to move some of the trees and vegetation that will sadly need to be cut down will make the process a lot faster. Trail digging will be almost all by hand. With interstate and international travel being very restricted here, I can’t make it over to different zones in Australia or NZ. So we ended up setting the goal to attempt to ride all the technical trails that come off it over the next few years. That might be a story worth writing up. I’ll mention it to the old battle axe.  Her trail butter recipe is coming along grandly. Are the ancillary seeds like sunflowers left whole in it or are they ground into a homogenous paste? I will get her to write it up and put it on her YouTube when it’s perfected.   My other favourite power food is chia pudding. Made with nut or oat milk, berries, nuts and honey or palm syrup. It is the perfect mix of fats (mostly omega 3’s in chia), carbs, protein, amino acids, and all the good stuff. Super easy to make and consume, I will be making up pouches of it for our trail side lunches.
