Boys!!! What town was your first , or even second, stop in? Country towns for sure would have a charity shop where you could have picked up a 2nd hand rain jacket! And probably had a nice chat with one of the CWA ladies, who might even have had a knitted woolen vest for you! 😂

Plenty of tinkering I’ve managed to reduce it quite a lot! Most lowering as much weight as possible and moving any weight on the rear forwards

Mate it is "Ar- a- rat". Not "Arat". 😅 Great ride. That rain was insane on Sunday. We were coming up from Melbourne to mum's place in Ballarat (literally across the road from the Western Hotel - could have given you free accom) and just East of Ballarat the storm hit so hard all the cars on the freeway stopped!

"...didn't even bring a gilet." Plonker! I mean, sure, it is heatwave season of our Summer but rain once every four days is not far off a rule of thumb. Rain shower rides are kind of mandatory for an epic adventure. Boominess adds atmosphere. The zapperydoo be less welcome. I do enjoy sitting out on a deck under an awning with an Irish coffee and a mint slice or Tim Tam just kicking back and watching a thunder storm roll through.

You're smashing it guys, that's good pace through that nasty weather. Lawrence isn't worried about the lighting because he's on a plastic bike, but you are on a fair conductor so I can see why you would be worried. Pretty country though, nice to see the windmills and the cows. Need more dogs though.

*change something :) swap tyres front to back?, add a little weight to the front?, add something to the top frame...so you can touch one of your knees on the top-tube. Looking forward to your trip, subscribed to watch the ride into Adelaide!

When you go to get food or drink are you ever worried about the bikes? This is my problem with bike packing with my Curve in Australia. In Japan it was fine, crime was so rare.
