It has been a magnificent run, and it has been a pleasure to have been able to follow you.

Wendy is now about 280 Km north of Tennant Creek, just past Elliot. Spot timed 15 minutes ago.

Wendy was attempting an IBA ride home, Centreline 36, but alas her rear tyre won't last the trip. Her daughter is Southbound from Darwin with the trailer and they will meet up at Daly Waters to return home safely.
One day you will wake up and there won't be anymore time to do the things you've always wanted so do them NOW!!!
Remember there are 7 days in a week and Someday isn't one of them!

I know that feeling, like when you set off on a trip thinking I've got around 3,500km left in that rear tyre, and you find out (the hard way) that it was only 2,500km.

I’ve done almost exactly 10,000 since leaving home, needed 10,600...

It’ll be a couple more hours until the retrieval team (my daughter and my dad) get here. I’m having a feed and an iced coffee at the pub.

Can you sit still for that long?

I overslept this morning.. must have needed it.

Wendy is now at home, arrived around ten past one am NT time, Bodø is quietly cruising Devonport area, and Cerebral Knievel has now almost reached Gosford after leaving Goulburn around 3 hours ago.

You must have overslept because I went to Bakers Creek before that.
