Jimmy's Victoria Divide 550 Packlist
This year some of the Curve Crew took part in the Victoria Divide 550, which is a self-supported, mountain bike route traversing the state of Victoria across the Great Dividing Range. It starts in Melbourne at the Yarra River and finishes at the Albury/Wodonga state border at the Murray River. Our lead mechanic, Jimmy, has offered his complete packlist with all the gear and clothing he took on the ride.
