Mad dogs and, no, what, wait, Kiwi's...
Good little training run. Good luck Martin.

Kiwi's are only South Sea Pommes anyways

Passed Yalata after some 4hrs rest in Ceduna by the looks..

Great viewing Martin, a bit cooler today.

I bet that 18-19 deg Martin is in just now (pre-dawn Friday morning) coming up on Border Village feels cold compared to his daytime Leg 1 yesterday!

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.

Using the times from Spot track of Knave and myself in 2014, he is hitting his targets.

He looked pretty good when we saw him between Burra and Crystal Brook. I was only out for 200 kays and it cooked me.

With Norseman behind him KiwiMartin has approx 736km to reach the Scarborough shore.

This is better than watching TV...

 

[Biggles]

Rough estimate at the Perth beach 12:35 EDST.

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.

You Westies are incredible.

It was a tad warm.

25 minutes up at Southern Cross. Looking good.

Agree Peter, they are a great bunch of guys supporting our endeavours.

Thank you Gus and Steve

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!

 

[Biggles]

He's there!

 

[OX-34]

Great stuff.

Let's hope he doesn't grab for the diesel pump
