Super effort Pete, with your recent illness mucking up your preparation. Respect for just getting to the start line, finishing the race a real bonus. Way, way ahead of the DNF’s, DNS’s & DNQ’s. And you stopped to help a colleague en route. Well done.

As always, Mr Flynn, the write up that makes us want to get out there NOW! Brilliant read. And oh how I miss the Snowy’s…

Thanks, Laurensia.
Unfortunately have just been told I need to cover some shifts that w/e & now will be on call Saturday night. Call is unpredictable & I may sleep right through, alternatively a busy night would mean that I won’t ride. I still want to do the ride & am happy to stay on team Chocolat Canard but this would depend on if the others…[Read more] -

Absolute gold! Great ride, great write up. Daniel, are you on strava?? If so, I suggest your Dad logs a ride with you & sprints at the end then takes a screen shot, so he can have a record that at one stage in his life he was faster than you! It won’t be long before the situation is reversed!!

Great article as usual Jim. Rest assured that those of us who didn’t make it will be out there providing all the support we can come September.
-
Another compelling piece of literature, Jim. Congratulations on your two top 10 performances over the three days. May I add my thanks to the many SPR supporters out on the day; the rest of our peleton certainly knew all our christian names (and some surnames) by the end of the race. Looking forward to September and lots of training rides through winter.

Thanks heaps to all the SPR volunteers & supporters who provided such fantastic support today. There were lots of cheers of encouragement at many stages of the route. Great to see the SPR flag & an enormous line of drinks on offer at Mundaring – that bottle of water got me to the finish line intact, even if it took me 2 goes to get it! And the…[Read more]

Great write up & spectacular pics, Jeremy, thanks for sharing this. Have had to add a few more ‘must do’s’ to the list after reading your story!
Particularly impressed by your ability to go on a ‘family holiday’ that seems to include a heck of a lot of cycling, includes 8 hour days on the bike!! -

Incredible stuff Jim.
And the will power that Christian must possess is astonishing. I mean, I’m pretty happy if I get out of bed at 5AM to go for an early bird ride, but that’s not even in the same universe.
-
Heroic ride and excellent reportage as usual, Jim. Considering our lack of similar terrain to prepare on, you did extremely well, particularly on the descents, which terrify and/or bamboozle most Aussies riding in Europe. We really need to be able to ride them on a regular basis.
LSL is getting closer and this one is on the list. See you at Amy’s. -
Always love reading your touring reports Jim and this one didn’t disappoint. Well done and a great effort.

Wow!
Great report on this achievement. Really makes me wonder if I’d like to try that.. -
Congratulations on another fine effort and achievement Jim.
“The body can’t go where the mind hasn’t already been.”
And another outstanding piece of penmanship to complement your ride… -
Fantastic achievement Jim – concur with Mike that it is really hard to train for such a tough multi-stage event here in Perth but you have been very focused and disciplined with your training and look what you have achieved!
Awe-inspiring write up Jim.
