Off the ferry at 6:30 DST time and home at 3:00 this morning (EST) after an uneventful, but nevertheless very interesting ride.

For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

Stimpy is at the East Devonport port so I am guessing he is on the ferry tonight.

Wendy left Cranbourne this morning around 7 am and has been mobile for 14 hours now.
She is currently north of Port Pirie and roughly a half an hour or less from Port Augusta.
So far today she has ridden close on 1,000 km to her present position. Truly inspiring.

Wendy is mobile again, having left the motel around 45 minutes ago. Who knows how far she may travel today? Ride safe.

Straight through Glendambo and towards Coober Pedy, estimated arrival around 2 hours 15 minutes.
I guess she has an urge to return home. :thumb

 Bodø, are there any roads left there that you have't ridden yet ... or are you now riding the footpaths just for diversity?   :rofl
