100CCC Attempt - 4 February

[Fatman]

Good on ya Tabledrain seeing Dan off, at Goondiwindi at the moment, Gilgandra next on the list..

 

[Fatman]

yep, he is looking forward to the wide open spaces. We saw his taillight disappear up the range from Aratula. He knows where he is going, its just a matter of doing it now.
We expect him back in Brisbane Saturday morning if the plan doesn't change. Will pick him up in Aratula for the run to the end.

Tabledrain, maybe that should read back to Brisbane Friday morning..

 

[Skidoo]

Hi mate, just caught up with the thread, been busy . . .
Pulled all the strings and will catch you at the Servo at Gilgandra in 90 mins if all permitting!
Ride safe

 

[Vlad]

Like a duck to water, fair winds and safe travels Dan.

 

[Skidoo]

OK I met Dan at Gilgandra with browser nozzle in hand. He had a smile from ear to ear and was loving it. He was enjoying the cool change however on the trip to Nevertire temperatures reached a moderate 37oC where unfortunately I had to wave him off at 1217 est.

Up to my usual standard killed another native creature, lucky it was the feathered. I couldn't kick the buggar off as it was impacted into the side of the bike. Dan rode up next to me indicating that i had a hitch-hiker as if i didn't notice


variety

 

[Fatman]

Awesome Skidoo that you were able to get to catch Dan. Good pics too.

 

[Martin Little]

Great work Skidoo! Dan is looking good

Good to see you also taking care of hitchhikers!

 

[Tele]

Gotta love those blue out back summer skies! Go Dan!

 

[HACKLE]

I see he's going through Kangaroo alley at the moment. Wonder if a certain couple in SA are preparing for an intercept. Ride careful Dan.

Out the door in about 30 seconds.

yep, you are right. Friday it is ..ggeeeezz, and i ride time sensitive rides....
I wasnt there on my own. Clint and a certain gent we may call TJ was there too. Dan has the evidence.

 

[Dicky Knee]

Dan's probable ETA to Perth (by my calculations) will look like being smack in the middle of my beauty sleep, and I need every minute of that I can get. Sorry I won't be there to shake your hand Dan, but will be watching SPOT with great anticipation. No need for "good luck" in this message... just ride the plan mate.

 

[OX-34]

Down around Oodla Wirra at the moment sees Dan holding an OA of roughly 100. Nice.

 

[Martin Little]

I gave Dan a call before I left work tonight. He's doing great and is on schedule and just enjoying the wide open spaces out there. He was also really appreciative of Skidoo waiting to see him at Gilgandra.

We had a chat about the night section ahead, including taking a brief break in Port Augusta to refuel, re-hydrate etc, before he strikes out for Ceduna.

 

[Daisy]

We picked up Dan and Ron at Oodla Wirra and had a pleasant evening bimble among the kangaroos to Port Augusta. Sent him on his way and brought Ron home with us.

 

[Philmor]

Dan looks to be keeping a good pace in the night run west out of Port Augusta.
Through Wudinna at 02:30am AEDT time.
That would have him into Ceduna at around 04:30am AEDT.
Go Dan Go …..

 

[Fatman]

Looks like maybe 2hrs rest at Ceduna then powered to the west, currently through Penong and past its windmills..

 

[OX-34]

Not long before Dan reaches WA.

I hope the time stamp on his docket at Border Village doesn't scramble with his brain.

 

[HACKLE]

What if he looks at the row of clocks on the wall, if his docket doesn't, they sure as hell will.

 

[Dicky Knee]

He'd be enjoying the view of the Bunda Cliffs about now. Keep pushing Dan.
