DAY ONE. 320KM. Merredin. Tough. Massive Headwind for 250km. Hardest ride. Nothing an iced coffee at the 24/7 Road House won’t fix.
Firstly, sad to hear of Thin Blue Dot pulling out of IPWR for health reasons this year. Top bloke. The best to you. You’re all silly bastards for trying this ride but health must come first. If Willy makes it this year, he’ll do it with you next year?!
Ok – Made it Merredin just before midnight. He’s done loads of training for this thing and he’s hit plenty of headwinds. But today really hurt. The difference now is he’s not going home to a nice Balboa Italian pizza and a beer with a sleep in his own comfy bed.
The last 50km into Merredin was OK. Headwind not so bad. The mattress is blown up – bunking here for the night.
Sitting on concrete munching into some food and an iced coffee. What a way to end a day.
Countryside amazing. Some pics of a few landmarks.
Love ya work mate
Cheers
Ant & Kirsty
