Thanks guys, it was an AWSOME spectacular ride filled with ever changing road and environmental conditions.
Running the numbers was interesting both before an even so after the ride. I had two plans but that's another story. Fatigue was not a problem, environmental challenges, that occured daily was always going to be the challenge. Once time is lost it cannot be made up even on this multi day ride. That was interesting to see
Generally it was fairly straight forward, I 'bottomed out' countless times, bent the gear linkage, loose steering, roadside repairs, hey that's part of the adventure. Don't be fooled, its a tough ride (completely different to the Dusty Butt 2,000), anyone contemplating the ride should expect and off for two.
The main issue for me being the few days 'playing around' at the top was hard work. Getting the S10 vertical after countless 'offs' in the sand were worth it but the old back ain't what she used to. Every time I lifted the S10 it took longer
Thanks heaps to the guys that me me at the South end, pure go,d but more to come in the RR.
