The Moron Competition - BNA Giveaway

[AUbicycles]

Don't be offended by the title, we are talking about two Mongolian towns called Mörön and how two mates (Tom Doig and Tama Puglsley) thought it would be a genius idea to ride 1487km from one Mörön to the other Mörön. The result is a book that is described as being 'hilarious'.


Book publisher Allen and Unwin have five copies of this book for five BNA readers - so you have a fantastic chance to win yourself a copy.

Just a little creativity from your side, in less than 25 words answer this question:
Question: If you were on a tight budget, which remote location would cycle and why?




For more details on the book and where you can grab a copy, visit: Allen und Unwin: Moron to Moron

[Ozkaban]

A trans US odyssey. From Obscure Way CL, Texas to Cheat Lake West Virginia, Winner in South Dakota then to Discovery Bay, CA and finally to Disgraceland, Illionois.

I'd head off from Sydney on a loaded tourer and ride via the following destinations:

Bong Bong, NSW
Wagga Wagga, NSW
Grong Grong, NSW

I'd do my best to catch my own food, and camp along the way.

Down the Darling and Murray River. 2 men in a tinnie style.

[HappyHumber]

I'd make a bee-line for Damboring, here in WA. A lack of attractions would assure budget accommodation. And probably vice versa for that matter.

[rkelsen]

I'd ride to Dingee (Vic) to see if it lives up to it's name...

[scotto]

always wanted to ride to Tassie - its downhill after all - via Mount Buggery, before settling in at Egg and Bacon Bay. hmmmm bacon.........

[elantra]

Up here in the wet sub-tropics there are many options.
Ride from Moore to Ogmore for example.
Or Moore to Moreton Bay.
Or Moore to Kenmore.

[TomBikes]

Victorian National High country area, hiked a fair bit there and have friends I could mooch off.

[Derny Driver]

Im just dying to do a Trans USA ride from Hallelujah Junction California, along the Queens highway to Hell, Cayman Islands. A lazy 4700km!

[QuangVuong]

Down Mt Kosciuszko to break 100km/h.

[Walsh95]

Vietnam, from the south to the north, over all the mountains, deserted country lanes and taking my time to enjoy the ocean breeze.

[Saturnstarzz]

I'm always poor so location wouldn't matter. Around tassie sounds fun though.

[RonK]

Mountain, glacier, forest, lake, river, sea...these are the landscapes that resonate in my mind. And these are the reasons I will ride the Carretera Austral through Patagonia - Chile and Argentina to the Fin del Mundo.

[KonaCommuter]

Logan - to be nominated for bravery

[Dan]

Windhoek to Cape Town - dunes, canyons, jackals and quiver trees. Take more than one bidon though.

[gretaboy]

Using an home made ice bike to follow the footsteps of Douglas Mawson's expedition in Antartica. Who has done that!!!!

Edit: forgot the tight budget criteria DOH!! change from AWD fat bike to home made ice bike (tyres got spikes )

[BurtO]

To ride across Europe to the Austrian town of -ucking (F). For the simple , purile joy of asking everyone I meet along the way for directions!

saw a story once about that town...they were getting sick and tired of having their town sign stolen due to its unique name

[AusAce]

Ryde to Tittybong (NSW -Vic) Cheap and nasty.

[AusAce]

Bação (Minas Gerais, Brazil) to Futuro (Alagoas, Brazil) Because I think I could hit 88 miles an hour on the way.

[find_bruce]

I have always thought it would be fun to intentionally go to a nice little town in northern NSW -Come By Chance

It would be a tough ride through the ranges to Gunedah, but after that it is pancake flat

[AusAce]

Las Vegas-Nevada to Truth or Consequences-New Mexico I think it would be a great ride of introspection.

[lump_a_charcoal]

I would grab a cheap fixie and ride around every Hawaiian island, over the course of a month or two.
Bed roll on my back, and a camera around my neck.

[MattyK]

I'd like to say I'd been to Hell and Back
