Accommodation

Reserved Room

In some towns the accommodation is extremely limited. Motel, hotel, cabins or similar, usually 3, 3½, 4 star.
Accom is in same town as BQ campsite, otherwise in the nearest town where accommodation is available. Sometimes this accom is from 10 to 40km away.
Upon booking, your bed will be reserved for you and this bed will stay reserved for you regardless of what time you arrive at the motel.

Twin Share	Those who enter individually will be put with another person of the same gender. Unless you specify a particular friend, we usually change your room mate each night, allowing for a wider variety of characters.
Couples	Couples will have their own double room.
Multiple Share Rooms	This is a rarity although possible if cabins only are available. These might accommodate 3 or 4 depending on size and configuration. Friends or families sometimes request these rooms.
Accommodation Fair Deal	If for whatever reason the accommodation one night is below normal standard, we strive to improve this with an extra good room next night or nights following.
Breakfast	A good hearty b/fast is provided, at your accommodation. Usually a full breakfast, sometimes a good continental breakfast.

Book early	Accommodation is very limited in most towns, so to avoid disappointment, we suggest you book early. The last two years Pheels Phantastic package on the BV GVBR has been completely booked well in advance.
Registration Toowoomba Applegum Inn	All cyclists are asked to register with Susan upon arrival at Toowoomba, either on Fri from 4 -7pm or Sat 7 - 8am at Applegum Inn or Sat morning from at BQ campsite entrance main gate when bags and people are dropped off from Brisbane bus transfer.
Your luggage drop off area for 8 nighters & 2 nighters	For the 8 nighters the 1st day at Applegum Inn or Toowoomba BQ departure point, where Pheels Phantastic will have a vehicle, then each morning after at the motel where you are staying. For the 2 nighters, on the morning of their 2 night accom package, drop luggage in the Pheels Phantastic compound just inside the main gate of the BQ campsite. This compound will be sign posted Pheels Phantastic and might contain some bikes left overnight. Our crew will be at this compound in Dalby as early as possible in the morning
Arrival at overnight town	Pheels Phantastic cyclists may ride directly to their motel with the intention of riding from their motel the next morning. They do not have to go to BQ’s campsite.
Directions for motel	Pheels Phantastic cyclists will be given specific maps, detailing where their overnight motel is situated.
Motel in what town?	Pheels Phantastic motels are usually in the BQ overnight town, however they may also be in a nearby town, which can be in any direction up to 40km away.
Do I ride to nearby motel town?	It’s your choice, the nearby town is sometimes on the way, so that’s easy. If motel is 5,10, 20 km or more further on, you may ride those extra km, however we will usually expect you to cycle from the motel the next day. We can bus you next morning however the facilities for transferring your bike will be limited. Sometimes your motel will be on next day’s route. Next day’s bonus!
What happens if I don’t want to ride to the motel?	Leave your bike in our Pheels Phantastic compound near front gate at BQ campsite. We will take you to motel, bring you back for BQ dinner, return you to motel then bring you back to collect your bike next morning.
Bike Transfers to Motel	We will have one bike trailer for limited transfer of bikes to and from motels, with the rider. We cannot carry all bikes each day because of time in packing, damage in transit and limited space. Decisions with time and space will be made on the day.
Bike Security	At BQ camp main gate entrance the Pheels Phantastic compound will be set up to take bikes and leave them on a bike “A” frame storage rack. We suggest you carry a lock and lock your bike. Your bike is your responsibility. This compound is right near the front gate where security guards are present all night. The difficulty if Pheels Phantastic lock all bikes is that we cannot guarantee we will be there when you collect your bike next morning.
How do I meet the bus Pick up times	The bus and driver will be at BQ camp entrance, near BQ main gate to pick up cyclists who cannot ride to their nearby town motel. Pick up times will be 1pm and 3pm.
Maps	Pheels Phantastic cyclists will be given detailed maps of overnight township, showing your motel, BQ campsite, luggage pick up area and cyclist pick up point, directions and other finer details upon entry into Pheels Phantastic package.
Luggage delivery	Your luggage will be delivered from BQ site or drop off pick up points on previous night’s motel, to your allocated motel. It will be left in foyer or safe storage area. For cyclists changing from accommodation to camping, your luggage will be taken from motel and placed on truck number 1, for your pick up at day’s end.
Booking into motel	Upon arrival at motel, report to reception desk and they will advise you of your room number & give you your key. Return key to reception when going out, allowing your room mate to enter unit.
Bike Mechanic	A bike mechanic will be part of our crew and will have everything that is required (we hope) including a good car pump for different valves. The bike parts used for replacement will be charged at shop prices. Labour is free. Cyclists with rare or different bikes are asked to contact us at All Trails and advise our mechanic. 03 9645 3355

Massage Therapists	The massage therapist will be available each afternoon and to be fair to everyone, we have limited massage time to ten minutes each person. In some towns where we are using three or four motels, the massage therapist will usually be at the biggest motel. Booking is not required. We will try to allow everyone 3 or 4 massages sometimes more. Names will be ticked off but please speak up if you are somehow missing out.

Evening Meal	Evening meal may be at BQ campsite, your motel, local restaurant, hotel or wherever. If you wish, Pheels Phantastic bus will pick up motel cyclists at 5pm & 6pm, take them to BQ campsite for dinner and return to motel at 8pm. These times are for motel within 20km radius. Special times will be arranged for motels further out.

Bum Bag	We suggest you wear, or carry on your bike, a small day pack or bum bag, to hold your personal belongings including rain gear, camera or whatever. Name tags on your excess clothing are a good idea. Please be aware we are not responsible for any clothes or personal belongings left in our vehicles or our possesion.
Name on Luggage	Your name must be clearly written on the outside of your luggage and sleeping gear.
Coloured Ribbons	Colour coded ribbons denoting different towns and motels for delivery of your bags will be given to you on the first day are to be attached to your bag,
