    I'm knackered..We drove approx 400km today to check the route out. Oh how I love my dear (It's 160km round trip from my house to the start of the ride) I've attached a few photos for you whilst you're eating brekkie.

    It's undulating but nothing as bad as some of the hills on the 100km off road ride we did. I think my main concerns would be the following: 1-The elements-there's very little shade as with many many roads in WA. If it's windy i;ll be ingesting dust for lunch. If there's a burnoff or bus 2-Farm machinery/wide loads-you can see by the photos there's very little space! I'll be paying attention! 3-The idea of being self reliant. Apart from the checkpoint stops there's nothing except farms in between.

    I have a spare weekend in may where I might just go out and do some of it for training.

    Enjoy the pics as i''m def not taking my camera on the day of the ride! The first is a little bobtail(?) lizard that was sunning itself on the road..they're just too cute to pass by. The rest are just roads along the ride route.
