I tried to do an all-nighter on Australia’s longest straight road, 146.6km, across the Nullarbor, but 35-40kph winds brought me to an abrupt stop. I had to put my bivvy on the side of the road.
Conditions are no better now. 100km to the roadhouse, battling through headwinds.
Remembering what we are fighting for and the purpose of this sufferfest, which is nothing compared to the millions enslaved.
The grind begins!
Feeling like a puck in a hockey game. Not just headwinds but crazy crosswinds from all sides. They threw me to the middle of the road twice.
Friends, ride safe.
