just posting to say that i made it
my ride started at yerrinbool, i decided to take a train outside of sydney because f!ck riding down to and through sydney
it took me about 8 days, including one rest day, i averaged over 200k per day for each working day (probably abvout 210-215k average) excluding one rest day where i did just 60k from mildura
mainly stayed at caravan parks, in a bivy bag, and i didnt use my cooking equipment much at all, diet was mainly high sugary foods, soft drink, candy, rice, etc
i also managed to time it so my 260k ride to hay, and then through to balranald was on a 40+c day, and the ride from balranald through mallee was also 40+c
but i carried plenty of water and didnt feel much heat stress
this is a pic from about 30-50k from hay
