Trying to Plan My AU Moto Adventure

http://www.bestbikingroads.com/motorcycle-roads/motorbike-rides-in-australia-/australia-__3886.html

Looks like so far we are looking at 3 days of motorcycling, four backpacking, multiple hiking, a few camping, and some assorted day trips and of course snorkeling! It is going to be an amazing trip!!!

Very Promissing and close to home base. I think this route may be a must do:

How did they determine shelf life?

There are many factors in calculating shelf life on food products. I have found the following sources to be clear explanations of the major factors.

Water Activity:
"Water in food not bound to food molecules can support the growth of bacteria, yeasts and moulds (fungi) - the term 'water activity' refers to this unbound water."

Hardest Race in America

A friend shared this link and I thought it was a great video. Talk about some intense dirt bike terrain!! This race is unbelievable!
