Completely flat, hardly any corners and constant headwind.

You're describing my favourite riding. :)

To really appreciate it you have to have spent the previous night riding down the 90-mile straight so you go off your head with weird hallucinations when it gets dark.

At one point the next day I met a guy on a touring bike going the other way. He was flying in the tail wind, with hardly any effort. He gave me a friendly wave. I hated him.

The only consolation was I did see my first kangaroo along that bit. It was quite small so maybe a wallaby.

Yeah, it's a lot easier when you're just doing loops of it and you get to choose your start direction, so I'd always try and head out into the headwind so I'd finish the ride with a tailwind.

I still want to ride across Oz I just have to retire or something first to find the time :)
