100CCC - October 2019 Attempt.

[Ed.]

He may have company earlier than that also. I'm single dadding tonight so unfortunately won't be me, but plans are being hatched.

Since I have adjusted one of my lights about half a millimeter to the left, I didn't had a change to "check-it-out" yet. Funny how we sometimes get opportunities....

 

[OX-34]

Sutton Forest has twin servos, so northbound one is the natural place.

We may mosey on 50 km farther south from Pheasants then. I hope they have those cheap bananas, I don't want to waste the trip...

There’s nothing quite like using 200 bucks worth of fuel to get a $2 coffee and banana and there’s no one quite like the people to whom that makes sense. Wish I could be there it will be quite a sight.

OX I would have thought he'd have stopped at the Coles / Shell on the north side (left side) back in Pt Augusta a bit ago, but apparently he crossed the road and stopped on the opposite side.

Dan, maybe the servo on the opposite side of the road has fresh bananas

I like the pies from Sutton Forest, and I think I’ll need to call in sometime tonight

It has been a couple of good days tagging along with Ron out to Perth and back.
Good to get on the tenere again though I missing the comfort, warmth and quietness of the Gold Wing.
Must be back to work tomorrow (Thursday) at midday so will leave Ron continue on his own somewhere after port Augusta.
Looking forward to watching the rest of his ride unfold from the comfort of my kitchen.

Great work Jeffrey! I'm sure Ron appreciated the company through the long, remote stretches.
Just a couple of easy days out and about to Perth and back...
Excellent riding Ron, great preparation and execution!
Enjoy the final stages.

Being the silly American that I am, I probably would have picked up those same fresh bananas on the way out on Monday, and finally remembered just today that I even had them in the panniers.

Hey Dan, if you like a Mrs Mac meat pie, you can't be that silly!

Looks like he managed to avoid the pull of home and got cleanly through Mildura. Would have to have been tempting ...

 

[Philmor]

With just over 9 hours ride time to go (to get to Coogee), mild temps and a good tail wind he is looking good.

Go Ron Go .......

Calculator??

 

[Derrick]

Enjoy all - I tried every permutation in the book but I just can't get out of Presntstion night for one of the kids

I may bring up the spot page once or twice while I'm there and pretend...

 

[Fatman]

Just under 600km and plenty of time left, approx 10.5 hrs left by my reckoning.

It has been great to watch Ron's ride unfold, keep up the good work Ron.

Calculator??

I may or may not have done up a spread sheet with his outbound and inbound time that estimates eta at various locations on this last leg....I can neither confirm nor deny.

 

[Kimmie]

I'm holed up in Grong Grong tonight after battling the terrible winds all day.....and that wind has a really good bite in it.
Hope you are rugged up Ron, it's gonna be a cool night.

Doing great young man, keep up the great ride Ron

 

[Lynne "the Pillion"]

You're going well GG, keep up the good work.

 

[Fransvdm]

Ron left at 2 am, so his 100 hours will go to 6am me finks. It's 8pm at the Ike I write this post, so I use the old way and counted the hours n my friends ngers and get to 10 hours free m Narrandera to Coogee.
I'll leave shortly
