Wow it's hard to believe that it's all over ! This was no "cruzy" cycle with the first week particularly challenging as we adapted to "sauna cycling" and then to the headwinds of horror ! Throw in a 150km day, never ending roads and some crazy traffic on the public holiday weekend and it would be reasonable to wonder what the hell you'd signed up for ! Despite this Kev & Marysia did exceptionally well, Kev after postponing his heart & lung transplant back in Melbourne and Maryisa showing she really does have the "Murray" to cycle tour anywhere in the world and in any conditions she should chose !
For me some of the lasting memories come not from our cycling but from our many en route experiences. Having a BBQ with 4WD on Robe Beach, filming Kev's entry into the Little Blue Lake in his 1930's costume (bike gear) forgetting that it had been 40 years since his last swim and watching Marysia alternatively scream and breathe while Snorkelling at Ewan Ponds ( I know I'm prety warped !). As for me the pleasure of arriving to lunch or dinner and to have an ice cold Pepsi Max presented to you still has me drooling as i write this (Thx Chris for your great support!)
Tour cycling is never easy as in short you have to be "somewhere" everyday but doing it with two great mates is one of lifes best pleasures. Thanks Kev and Marysia !!!
