He was in good spirits when we spoke last night and he was slightly ahead of his plan - no comms so far today but we packed him up with frozen face washers and neck tubes to help manage the heat yesterday and apparently they worked well. Will provide updates as they become available
Martin posted on facebook about 4am this morning at BP (presumably Ceduna) that it was cold. I suggested to him that he hang in there, it should warm up a bit during the day
having no previous personal experience with a 100CCC, but having watched others perform this amazing feat I am in awe at Martin's progress. He is now travelling thru areas that I am well versed with travel times etc. And his progress (in my opinion) is simple outstanding. Could be early to bed tonight.

He will have to deal with the setting sun in about 2hrs but will be past the worst section soon.
Steve and I will ride out and meet him somewhere and guide him through the road works near my place on Ried Hwy.

Spoke to him as he was leaving Southern Cross. He’s roughly 20mins ahead of his plan (which had him at Scarborough at 00.35 AEDT/ 21.35 AWST) and still in good spirits though I think starting to tire a little.
Thanks to all who have/will keep him company along the way - I think he’s appreciating the company!
Watching here at work around midnight with the local temp at 27c. I hope it's cooler for Marty as the lads escort him safely to the west coast. Well done Martin!
