At Fernvale now, just under 100km down, getting very hot & windy, no dust yet.

Cold powerade & empty carbs, the cornerstone of every good ride.

The descent down the back of Nebo is more fun on a moto if I remember correctly.

At Nebo cafe, quicker than expected but still going to eat :-)

New prescription oakleys a rocking, no more dust in the contacts issues.

Looks dusty out to the west but I need to push on to get to Fernvale bakery.

Amazing stuff. I can't wait for these (in large size orange) to make it to our southern shores.

Let's not ruin it by thinking about how much at this stage, keep the dream alive :-)
