I just read your last couple of days report Piglet.
I really felt for you guys having to make the call to pull out of the IBR, from our own personal experiences of having to pull out of a few IBA rides, I know that decision is so bloody hard, disappointing, second guessing yourself, what if we just have a snooze etc etc and I say it takes "bigger balls" to pull the pin than to keep going when you are that fatigued. But you both made the correct call for that time, your safety is number 1, nothing else matters.
Thanks for the report Bec I really enjoyed the read.
Safe travels for you and Martin back to Australia.
