Another 280kms just completed. Same distance as yesterday but finished an hour earlier due to the great tailwind!!! With the wind behind me I was able to average 50kms/h! Even at that speed I could not get rid of the fly which sat on my shoulder for the last 3hrs! who said I was alone out here!
Today was the first day we needed to use the Satellite phones as there is asolutely no reception across the Nullarbor!! Thanks Satellite Phone hire for your support!
Lots more road kill, its amazing, so many kangaroos.
The biggest distaser of the day: my ipod ran out of batteries!!!
Tomorrow i finish the 90 mile road, the longest straight stretch in Australia, it feels like it never ends!!!
S32' 26.4
E124' 38.4

Hey Gary,
ReplyDeleteJust read through your blogs from start to finish. Good read. I hope you have someone taking pictures for you!
What I want to know is...how are you getting your nutrition and what kinds of nutrition? Are you sleeping out in tents? How many hours of sleep are you getting?
Well done on your 1000km milestone!

Hi Gary,
ReplyDeleteGreat work. Good mileage considering you had a passenger. You are an inspiration. Have the trucks and other traffic been a problem?

Hi Gary,
ReplyDeleteI think what your doing is great your a machine and what a test to put yourself through. I'll let you know when I'm going to do that ride.
And the money you've raised is fantastic, you sound like man that makes a difference. I'm off to donate some money for the kids.
Keep riding.
