Why didn't you edit the first post in the original thread like has been done with the Crystal Brook/Macclesfied and Roxby Downs/Lameroo?  Two threads floating around is more likely to confuse people.

Thought it safer to make clear it was a new one

I'm in.  :hatwave

There's a few things in the area I want to check out and they're all on dirt, so unless it's been extremely wet and I'm to stay on the asphalt I'll certainly be on the Versys.  Either way, I'll be there.

Forecast of 37 for Morgan at this stage, so maybe a bit more than warm. :OldMan

Think I'll have to break out my summer Kevlar riding gear - shorts, t-shirt & thongs.  ;-*

Fair call, I reckon I'm still up for it but may decide to overnight at Morgan if too hot to return.

We are taking the ute, with a spare seat if that is helpful.

Thanks Pete, I'm a bit keen to take the Himalayan out for a run so I'll do that. I might head off early to ride in the cool (hopefully) of the morning and take a fishing rod with me and then at lunch regale the RTE attendees about the massive Murray Cod that got away  :angry-old-man-smiley-emoticon

A can of corn & you've got a decent feed of carp burgers

Booking made with the pub.

One thing I have noticed since losing weight is that I don't feel the heat like I used to.  Tomorrow should be a good test.

Hi fellas, we (VIC, SA & QLD) all have RTE's today. I'll see if I can organise a Facetime call at around 1:30pm VIC time, 1:00pm SA time, 12:30pm QLD time.  I've just gotta remember / workout how to do a Facetime call.

I'll be a tri-State virtual RTE, maybe a first?

Cheers ....

Back home hot, but not too bothered.

1/2 bottle of water down my front & back at my mid point on the way home made the ride much cooler.

45  :eek now that's impressive!  I maxed out on the Himalayan at 42, close to Sedan, but once I'd climbed to Keyneton and was on the road to Eden Valley it dropped to 37 - luxury!!
Despite the heat I thoroughly enjoyed the ride and in particular the company (8 I think which is pretty good for us Croweaters).

I didn't hit the 40s all day.  The Kwaka maxed at 38°C.

That was in Cambrai.

Dropped to 35 once I got up into the Ranges towards Mt Pleasant.

The clothed water shower when I stopped in Cambrai was amazingly cooling in all the gear.

I only saw 38 degrees as the top, and only for a short while between Cadell and Sunlands. 36-37 the rest of the trip.

Good day, good food, good company. Thank you Gents (and lady).

To answer one of your old questions re the road from Blanchetown to Mannum being sealed, I rode Murraylands Road from Blanchetown to Fisher yesterday and it is dirt the whole way until a kilometre before the Stott Highway.

lI thought that might be the case, Bodo, thank you. It is sealed all the way on the eastern side, so that is good enough.

Got to leave the chook chasers some where to have fun.  :rofl :rofl
