Wednesday was extremely fast for me. It wasn’t until Thursday morning around Balmoral and sunrise that the wind started to hit hard. Had it for hours and hours. I was doing about 17kmh moving from there. Stopped in Edenhope for ages on the verge of ‘quitting’ - even though I’d still have to ride to Adelaide anyway. Just kept thinking if I averaged 17kmh from there it would still be another 24+ hours and I just couldn’t hack it. I chipped away regardless and about 3 hours later I got to Naracoorte and changed bearing from west to north and finally seemingly had a tailwind (or at least no headwind). Saved.

Saw your insta post. Amazing effort. Welcome to Adelaide. I was wondering how you coped with the wind on Wednesday. It sure annoyed the fuck out of me for the 20k I rode against it.
How did you find the traffic etc?
