The Peloton in remote WA

Dilshan

Today was an awesome day. The cyclists were meant to do 220km however the destination campsite had no running water, no showers, no electricity. Not the right place to be with 31 cyclists after a long bike ride in the North WA heat.  A meeting was had last night to change the destination and make the next leg a mere 290km. I was in J2, the support vehicle for the peloton, along with my American buddy from Melbourne, Dillon de Costa. Our day was spent admiring the beautiful scenery, watching wild horses running and of course - supporting the peleton. We had a couple of technical problems, the White Lion with a wheel problem and a Scott with a puncture. Other than that, it was smooth driving. Tomorrow I will be part attacking the 290km leg on the bike. I am really looking forward to that, hopefully my knee will hold up.

Megan: We have travelled from Kununurra to Halls Creek over the past 2 days and the sites have been amazing and so interesting. HJ and I have been in the mini van which is tasked with serving and making breaky and lunches, but I’ve mostly had the task of washer uperer…it’s all part of the experience though! First night we stayed in an amazing hotel at Kununurra, second night we stayed at a camping site at Warnum which is mostly a closed Aboriginal community and where alcohol is illegal! Tonight we are in Halls Creek which is a very remote town, which is a partially dry town but we have managed to find the only pub in town, which is where we type this blog. Needless to say we have totally hit outback Australia. Long, straight, roads, red dust and amazing scenery. Tomorrow we travel to Fitzroy Crossing and the Bungle Bungles. Cannot wait to see the sites and what we might encounter in the next town we camp down at.
