Here’s another dead-set champion adventure rider and reader of this high-quality journal – just like you! Everyone, meet…

Ed Surman

Q. Where does that bike get parked each night, Ed?
A. South-east Queensland will always be home for me. I was born in Brisbane, and for the last 20 years or so I’ve enjoyed the twisties and tracks of the Sunshine Coast hinterland.
I’m just about to depart on a dream trip to ride the Americas, Pole to Pole, and my bivvie bag and tarp, wherever I stop, will be home.
