Time To Get Moving

Our first few weeks in Aus were slower than anticipated. We promised that we’ll do big days between Norseman and Ceduna to make up for it.

Well, now we’ve left Norseman it’s time to actually deliver on that promise 😬🫠

Day one we managed to go from Norseman to Balladonia, a solid 118 miles (190km).

We’re pretty darn chuffed with that to be honest!

The day was largely uneventful, but enjoyable! A good time to stick on an audiobook and just ride. for. eleven. hours. eight. minutes. straight. We stopped only for a quick sandwich lunch (stood up) and a toilet break 🥱

Our evening picked up, with the excitement of two days budget reclaimed we arrived at our destination and a bed waiting for us 🛌. Better, we went all out and had a fish and chip dinner aswell 😋

To top it off, outside Ballandonia Roadhouse, which is ran by fellow Brits from Wakefield, we met Bob and Sylvia and had a lovely chat over lunch. As a keen runner and triathlete Sylvia was greatly interested in her trip. She was wonderful, very energetic and approachable 😍

Sylvia had seen @louisaandtobi earlier so we knew we’d eventually cross paths. We were getting lots of DMs from mutual connections too telling us to keep an eye out 🥰
