It begins. We’re in Pt Augusta, and raring to go…

Thanks to all the support and help from friends, wives and the crew at Snowy’s..!

We have arrived safely in Pt Augusta, and we’re off in the morning, starting with out feet in the waters of Northern Spencer gulf.

Here’s hoping it’s a good day tomorrow (although the weather looks somewhat questionable, the wind is behind us, at least for a day or two!).

Pics and more info as and when I can. See you on the other side!

Less than a week to go…. watch this space for more info on the trip as it progresses!

 

We leave on the 10th April from Pt Augusta…. not long now!

The bike has been completely dismantled and reconstructed with new bearings, seals, brake oil, and it almost seems a shame to get it dirty. Many thanks to Kym, Pete and Matty!

The Team Mawson participants in the Gulf to Gulf have now done test packs, and we’re frantically trying to get the gear to reasonable levels. It’s all good.

Have a look at the ride websites:
