Thanks for a great day out Mark.
It was good to get back on the bike after 4 months, and I felt a bit rusty to start with, but that didn't last long.
The new tracks you've incorporated are excellent - just adds to the fun! Yes, the dust was a nuisance, but at least it was limited to the main roads for the most part.
Thanks also to Stuart and Graeme for going tail for the day - hope you didn't inhale too much of the tracks back there!
I do need to add one thing though - please guys, if the ride is advertised as being 100kms (and this was), try to carry enough fuel to do the distance. It is pretty easy to calculate your fuel usage, so you can work out how much extra is needed to get there. My speedo said 106km for the day, and that was with a few extra challenge sections included, so we were pretty close to the estimated distance.
