I'm getting ready to fly off on Wednesday. Trying to minimise time away from wife and work means that I'll not have a load of time to acclimatise and adjust to jet lag when I get there (Thursday lunchtime), but I reckon that jet lag is less of an issue if you're not actually planning to sleep long or at regular hours. It may even be an advantage as the winds seem to be worst in late afternoon, when I might be at my sleepiest.
Today's worry is around stock levels of water and grabbable food at the roadhouses. A guy on the Australian Cycling Forum reckons that they'll run out of stuff after the first half a dozen riders have gone through - each buying 8 bottles of water. I guess that won't be a problem for Sarah!
