The Long Ride – 8 May

Posted on 09 May 2012 by Matt Napier

We have reached the lovely city of Wagga Wagga and are now about 250km from Manuka oval, our final destination. After 2500km of no flat tyres we have had 5 in the last few days (very frustrating) but all part and parcel of a ride like this I guess. After leaving Darlington point we stayed [...] Continue Reading

Well we are now at Renmark, less than 1000km to go and I still can’t believe how well the body is holding up. Over the last 3 days we have made it from Port Augusta to Renmark – some 400km – and the weather has changed from warm and sunny to showery, windy and cold. [...] Continue Reading
