What a fantastic trip! I am so proud of my efforts! 3,300kms later, and I made it to Glen Helen Resort, 136kms west of Alice Springs. With sore everything, I felt it was a marvellous achievement, and all for a great cause. I will have a follow up post shortly about my wrap up, but in the meantime, here are some...

What a Journey! 689kms from Coober Pedy to Alice Springs. We left at the crack of dawn and it was cold riding!!! 165kms to our first fuel stop, and that was hard work. After which we had great riding all the way through o Alice Springs. The scenery was amazing! We started in what was arid desert with very little life to be seen, and ended in rolling green hills as we came into Alice...

Going on this ride, I realised how much I have taken my country forgranted. it is truly stunning!! Over the last few days of riding we have experienced everything from wheat and canola fields, national parks, flat open plains, mountainous regions, vineyards, rivers, pastural land, fruit orchards, cattle and sheep farms, and wide open fertile green pastures. And today was no exception. We left Renmark, which in my opinion is one of the most...

An absolutely wonderful day of riding today. We left Hay early in the morning and rode into Balranald for some Morning tea, after which we did the ride to Mildura for lunch. Gorgeous vineyard country, and it is amazing how fertile the lands become as you head into the Murray River! Finally we headed into Renmark, our stop for the night. Stunning country along the Murray River, and I hope to come back here one day and spend some real time...

Day 2 was awesome riding!!! We left Grenfell about 9am after having a local country breakfast and were on our way to Hay which is approximately 360km of riding in one day with our first stop in West Wylong for a refuel stop, then another 147kms to Goolgowi and finally the 108kms to Hay. When leaving Grenfell, we had a mixed bag of weather, some rain, and even possibly hail. But mostly it was sunshine with spotty clouds. The most stunning...

After leaving Bathurst, we did a lap of Mt Panorama on the bikes which gave us a whole new respect for the drivers that race on this circuit! We then continued on and had a quick pitstop at Cowra (Ok, truth be told I had a bike repair to do), and then the rains had fallen on us. Along with the cold, this was not a pleasant part of the trip!!! But we continued on, and eventually made it to Grenfell. Great little town of about 2,000 friendly...
