Bruce Rock – Southern Cross | 160.6 km
After resting in Bruce Rock we set off early to try and beat the heat. Breakfast in Merredin a distance up the road, quite cool seeing all the bikes at the servo.

We pushed on until Southern Cross but decided to rack it for a period of time as it it’s hot and humidity incredible. New strategy was to rest for a few hours and set off again when cooler later in the night.
Have set a great pace and teamed up with Chris Barker aka “IPWRCaveman” this is his third stint for IPWR and I am stoked to be able to use his expertise and knowledge that’s for sure. Friends with Mich Eyb so he must be a good bloke!
Meal done, we set off again at nightfall and rode the night shift. Managed 345 km’s for the day.
