Safely Back Home

My jet lag is leaving me, as I managed to actually sleep all through the night last night... but part of me is still in Australia. There is also a nagging little voice in the back of my head that is reminding me that the Stuart Highway is still unridden... fall down 7 times, get up 8!

However, another attempt is at least a year away and there is a lot of living to do between now and then! I've decided that next time I'll probably not be riding it solo. I'm considering a group ride and possibly a support vehicle for the future. I've already convinced Dan to drive any support vehicle and he has generously agreed... of course I think his motivation may be due in no small part to his desire to watch us suffer!

Back home it's a beautiful summer day outside in Thief River Falls, with the high temperature today expected to be around 81 degrees (26C), with light winds. So, of course the only thing to do is go for a bike ride!
