Glad I've taken the day off.

Was wondering why you had so much time on your hands. Figured it was because you are the boss at work and have everyone else doing the necessaries while you keep abreast with OZSTOC.

Nope.

I put in a 11:30 hour day Wed and 8:30 yesterday, because I have Flex time, I have to burn some off.

Homeward bound now

making good time.

A nice road for this venture as far as efficiency goes- minimal loss of time going through country towns, unlike most roads available to us eastern state dwellers.

At this rate, he'll be home by 8pm. He's passing Pimba now.

Past Port Augusta already. Keep peddling Pete.

He's making it look easy.
Being downhill at this stage would be helping, I guess.

Biggles · « **Reply #31 on:** August 28, 2015, 07:42:17 PM »

Looks like he's having dinner in Port Wakefield. Been there half an hour.

I hope he remembered to grab a docket in Coober Pedy in his rush to get home.

On the road again. Google maps says only 1:20 from his last position to his home.

Looks like he is easily going to do it all on the same date.

A shoo-in.
It's not a race, but he'll beat his Coffs-Gundagai-Coffs time.
The more open roads would have helped enormously.

I was thinking the same.

45 minutes from home!

An AWESOME effort!
Looks like the RR is going to be a real short read!

Well done Pete - you've crushed it so far!

Biggles · « **Reply #37 on:** August 28, 2015, 08:56:41 PM »

Home at 8:53 their time.
His wife will be saying, "Where have you been? I've been looking for you all day when I woke up and you'd gone out!"
"Just up to Coober Pedy for the milk, dear. Streak said it's what you do."

Gadget · « **Reply #38 on:** August 28, 2015, 09:12:14 PM »

9:03 so close to home.

Good thing about doing it this way, is he gets to sleep in his own bed tonight.

Well done Pete
