Sunday-Monday ride was a 410km effort. This means I covered ~980km in a little over 3 days elapsed (~77 hours). Time to chill out a bit I think. Miles ahead of schedule!
Now I’ve crossed the Tropic of Capricorn I am officially in the tropics. The daytime riding is pretty harsh. I found myself chucking on layer after layer of sun cream on my legs. No respite from the piercing heat of the sun. Had a 12 hour rest at a nice rest stop on the highway and I’m about to have a more relaxed day of ‘only’ 170km to Mackay where apparently some awesome person has a bed for me to sleep in!
Check out the route on a full map of Australia. Barely a dent.
