Langers and I left Adelaide on Friday morning, with our FarRide of 1000km in 24 hours24 hour ride starting from Port Pirie at 1400hrs. We got into our overnight stay at Minnipa Pub at around 1800hrs on Friday evening, and had a great meal by the wood fire. Saturday morning was an early start at 0530hrs and we rode through Dark-O-Clock until just short of Ceduna, arriving at the Border Village at 1300hrs with 1039km under our belt and an hour to spare. The evening at Border Village was spent with about 100 other long distance riding, chatting over a few drinks and a decent meal, and most were gone again by 0800 hrs Sunday morning. Mark and I had a leisurely ride home via Steaky Bay (overnight), Elliston, Lock, Tumby Bay and Cowell (overnight), and we arrived home at about 1500hrs today. I managed to bag a couple more Big Things.. Mark had a flat tyre at Cowell, but other than that, it was a wonderful 2,800km ride in 5 days. We missed most of the stormy, wet weather, and despite seeing evidence of lots of rain all along our route, and we had no more than a total of one hour of showers throughout the whole five days. There is no doubt that luck was on our side with the weather. Once again, it was great to catch up with old friends and new.
