Saturday 9th April, 2022 98.94km +587mMoving 4:59 Elapsed 6:48:08 Avg 19.9km/h max 48.6km/h Another day. A pre-dawn start - about 5.30am - aiming to get to Kimba before it got too hot.

Rest day in Ceduna
Wednesday 6th April, 2022 It was a relief to not have to get on the bike today and to sleep in a bit. I can't remember now whether we used the motel laundry last night or this morning, but this was, by now, our typical motel room drying set-up. We never put our bike clothes …

IP Day 13 – Mundrabilla to Border Village
Saturday 2nd April, 2022 78.57km +126mMoving 3:22 Elapsed 5:21Avg 23.3km/h Max 32.7km/h It's pretty confusing looking back trying to work out just exactly how stupid o'clock our departure was, between the official and unofficial time zones, and every app deciding to extract a different timestamp out of the Garmin data. Strava's 4.02am is seemingly (somehow) …
