SCHEDULES

The intention is to depart Sydney for Perth on August 8. We estimate it will take five or six days to get there. Once we arrive in Perth we must prepare for the trip back to Sydney with the cyclists – food and water to buy and load, vehicle to service, beacon lights and CB radios to install or check, signage to put into position, etc. The riders will have bikes to assemble and/or service etc.

We depart Perth on Monday August 17. Working to the planned schedule will be important because bookings have been made for food and accommodation at roadhouses eastwards from Norseman (the desert crossing) and we cannot arrive a day early or a day late without causing major hassles and additional cost.

The accompanying photograph was taken on the 2006 team crossing. Roadside stops are times to refuel and rest the tired and aching bodies! The less training – the more tired and the more aches!
