pity it's not video, otherwise we would have seen an old lady open her car door into him.

Apparently you can park all day there for free.
That is where I am parked after missing out on a spot in the motel. Fuckers.
Any hassles, give me a yell before 9PM.

cool, that's where i was hoping to park. I'll be there about 5am assuming the traffic isn't too bad I'm off to bed soon too. My wife is vacuuming and my son is playing the guitar louder than he ever has. Might have to bring down the banhammer on both of them

Team Suxobank is down to 2 riders, i had to pull out after only 70km's. I've been crook this week and was hoping i'd be ok, and i might have made it but we had killer winds between Werribee and Geelong that got the better of me. But I fell in a heap at about 60km's and had to continue on for another 10 to get shelter from the rain. Wife came and got me. I feel as sore now as i was expecting to feel after the full 210km's. Norbs is doing it better than me but it was tough for him too, Flinty looks like he has only done 2km's. Fingers crossed they make it, the weather is terrible. A lot of people were struggling.

the ride goes past my parents house in Pt Lonsdale, my dad just sent me this. For those that don't know, one of Norbs' mates mum said 'he's not a good looking bloke but he's got a happy head'

poor Norbs and Flinty are still going, it looks like being a 12.5hr day for them. Not sure about Flinty but Norbs has been doing it real tough. Huge effort from him to battle those conditions, i've got a lot more respect for him after today. Flinty is a freak on a bike.
This is Norbs close to 3/4 distance.

Word on the wire is that they've finally finished, and judging by the pic Flinty just posted, old mate Norbs is looking exactly like you would expect him to.. happy but knackered.
Kudos big fella, titanic effort, and a world more than I'm sure I could do.

My date hissed when water hit it in the shower. Ride report tuesday. I have to drive home tomorrow. Thanks for all the well wishes. Thanks to Rod for the invite. And a fucking huge man hug to Flinty for towing me around the bay.

One for Flinty.
My suffer score doesn't reflect the actual suffering. And seems like it was 69.5kph down Olivers.

Norbs, that average speed isn't anything to sniff at. For that sort of ride, I reckon anything over 20kph is great - and 14 hours in the saddle! Top work fella!

Sensational effort guys.
Definitely looking forward to that ride report
Couldn't help having a look at the ride on strava.. If you're coming down for the Challenge Tour in January, you'll get over double the climbing in a bit over half the distance
