I am wondering why they made the diversion from Torquay to Warnambool before heading north again.    :think1

Just wait and see, it'll all come out in the end.....  :whistle

What they should have done was ride around until the spot website made a giant picture of a motorbike

They realised they missed Brisbane on their way north.  On their way to complete their set in Sydney.
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

Could it be the boys are slowing down?
They're actually stopping in Toowoomba to sleep, after a relatively leisurely ride in from Goomeri.

Might be like the Cairns to Cooktown leg where there was no SPOT, they may be on the move but we can't see them.....

I've just spoken to Karl (Skidoooo).  His SPOT battery has gone flat.  They have finished their timed riding at Toowoomba and are now on their way home.  Absolutely awesome effort Abe and Skidoooo!!!!! :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

It's been an amazing ride by Abe and Karl, and about 17,500km in around eleven days by my reckoning.    :-++

I'm very keen see what IBA certifications come out of this epic long distance achievement, and hope to be able to read a full ride report at some time.
