No, we do not organize or pay for any of the riders' accommodation as we are a charity event and cannot afford it. We keep registration fees low to ease the financial burden. However, we reach out to hotels and motels in our stay areas to get special rates for participants. Accommodation is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Is there a limit on the number of participants?
Yes, the tour is capped at 30 riders for safety reasons. We have three support cars and varied riding abilities, so this limit helps us manage the event safely.
What is the daily schedule like?
We generally start our day at 8 AM with a rider briefing to go over the day's route and stops. We set off as a group with three support cars: one at the back, one at the front of the main group, and another ahead for faster riders.
What about food during the tour?
PFP supplies hydration and nutrition, including water, gels, and muesli bars across the three support cars. Participants also bring baked goods to share. However, we do not supply lunches, breakfasts, or dinners. Participants need to arrange and fund these meals themselves. A large cooler will be available to keep items cool during the day.
Can less experienced riders join the tour?
Absolutely! PFP is flexible, allowing you to choose how many stages you wish to do. The $30 signup fee applies whether you participate in all five stages or just one. If you need to stop after a day or two, we have support cars where you can park your bike and ride along. We encourage people of all abilities to join. The support car will stay with the last person, so no one is left behind.
We pay respect to the traditional and original owners of this land the muwinina people, to pay respect to those that have passed before us and to acknowledge today’s Tasmanian Aboriginal people who are the custodians of this land.
