Ah- pioneering a new "Off-Centre CC" !   :thumbs
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

It was a fresh'n'foggy start to the day in the New England.....I found this fella lost in the fog, gave him some tail lights to follow for a couple hours.


He has Wombattle in his mirror now for the day.

And I know.....need to clean front camera lens on my mbl.  :H

Making pretty good time.  I would expect him to be in Warnambool well before his 50 hours expires.

According to Skidoooo on FB, just on 4,000 km. And a quick calculation by me on start and stop times around 47:40 hours. Champion effort considering heavy fog, and lots of cattle and roos were encountered.
Cheers,
Gary
