Was that DST or AEST?

I wondered over the weekend how long it would be before this old chestnut appeared  :nahnah

Seeing as how Spanner was in NSW and sent his depart time of 08:19 to me at 08:21...... I guess it would be DST  :p


Only asked bikos when I have to cross time zones I use the destination time as my clock saving me wasting mental electricity while I'm riding along second-guessing myself for hours.

Check with Diesel Biggles......he knows how it works   :nahnah or does he  :think1

Great to hear you got in ok, I've been following this and thought, as I was heading to bed "she-ite, he's been riding for longer than I've been awake!"

Good effort!

Well done Spanner. I don't think it was one I would have ever tried. More power to you for having a crack.

Good to see you came in with a margin.
Obviously a good choice of roads, minimising time lost to roadworks, small towns etc.
