Indian Pacific Wheel Race - IndyPac - IPWR

@frank9755, is the second part of the race much tougher from now? Just thinking about what Abdullah has to come.

I don't really know as I only got as far as Geelong (just before Melbourne) when it all went bad, so I didn't do the big climbs.

The nullarbor was tough because the headwind was quite strong and relentless, all day every day.
I got a tailwind through the coorong so that was easy, probably have me an extra 70km distance.
What I can say is that I was starting to feel apprehensive about the latter stages. Mainly it was I was under massive time pressure. And Partly it was that the step up from a ride of about 2 weeks (at my speed) to 3 weeks was more of a big deal mentally than I had expected. Also I was a bit scared of doing the climbs with so many Kms in my legs I had been really slow on the climbs I had done, out of Adelaide and on the great ocean road. And finally the cold, it had been cold in Victoria and I didn't want any more of it.
