Interested in doing a 100CCC? March 2017

[OX-34]

06:30 AEDT Monday

Olly and Martin left Ceduna early and are about 120km east at Cungena.

Rob (and Scott?) are just leaving Ceduna now. It's no race and everyone gets a 100CCC cert at the end, but it looks like a handicap event where Rob will chip away at that 100km all the way to Coogee - it will be nice if they can time a group finish - about 02:30hr Tues.

Just spoke to Rob, he is approx 30km west of Kimba. I advised him that Olly was at Kimba and Martin was approx 20km east of Kimba.

Rob was feeling well and enjoying the ride. I forgot to ask if Vlad is with him or not.. Sorry


Edited at 10.22am... Rob just said that Vlad is riding approx 5 minutes behind him.

Fatman's edit provided Scott's whereabouts

 

[OX-34]

Now they've taken separate routes after Port Augusta...

Rob and Scott via Wilmington, Martin and Olly due south.

Renmark rendevous? Or will Rob head for Broken Hill...

 

[Fransvdm]

I'm taking a guess for a Renmark Rendevous

Any other guesses??

Let's not forget the support & assistance we get from of those WA riders like Gus & Frog.

Gus will probably get a visit from the WA police, as he has provided a lot of "escort" services in recent times.

And Frog, he left home at 12:40am WA time early yesterday and guided our eastbound riders all the way to Balladonia, arriving back home at 11:00pm last night after about 1800 km.

Gee, he must have been keen to run those Easterners out of WA !!

LTP just spoke to Martin.. He and Olly have JefftheChef in tow till Mildura. Martin was going to have a power nap at Renmark.

Martin was unsure if Rob was going via the Hill, we should know soon.

 

[Fatman]

Rob is taking the southern route through Renmark by the looks

Thanks for the updates...

I was wondering how many riders had attempted the 100CCC at the same time, seems the MTF have the bragging rights according to the IBA records: http://www.ironbutt.org/certified.htm

I am going for a ride in about an hour to see if I can clear some emus out of the way around Balranald. It just means I will leave work early today. After all; it is a public holiday here.

 

[Fatman]

Reader Kiwimartin's schedule has him in Hay around 6.53pm. You can do the calculations back to Balranald.

Glad you got part of the public holiday off, nice boss, not!

 

[Reader57]

I figure they will take about an hour forty to get to Balranald from Buronga. I will leave when they leave Buronga.

 

[Philmor]

Rob caught up to Scott near Hells (Kimmies) Gate west of Hay.
Both will only need one more fuel stop each - Narrandera for Rob and probably Gumly Gumly for Scott.

 

[Crappy]

Wonder if we get a shoey in celebration.

 

[Fransvdm]

Anybody has an ETA?

 

[Philmor]

06:30 AEDT Monday
....... finish - about 02:30hr Tues.

I will go with OX's experienced early call and think that it will not be too far off the mark.

 

[Fatman]

Anybody has an ETA?

Frans, Kiwimartin's schedule indicates 3.15am at Coogee. He has about 550km to go.

Rob looks like he is a bit in front of Martin and Olly.

 

[PillionPiglet]

Kiwi's plan had him arriving at Coogee at 3am. At this stage I think it will be somewhere between 3.30 and 4am - but that's probably 'hopeful wife' estimation based on him getting a bit more sleep between now and then

 

[PillionPiglet]

It's raining!!
Boys are doing well. Martin currently sitting behind a B-Double doing a decent speed. He'll stop at Gundagai for a 45 min rest then power through to Coogee.
Thank you to those who are going out to meet them in the morning. Really appreciate knowing they'll have friendly faces welcoming them back!
And thanks to those who've provided friendship and support along the way. I know it means a lot to them and helps make the road a little easier to travel!

 

[Philmor]

Rob ran into some heavy rain west of Wagga but the sky is now clear and the road is dry.
Rob is about to join up with Scott just east of Gumly Gumly.
Mr Google says it is 4hrs 30 mins to Coogee.
Their travel time will be slightly less than that.
