Some Ride Details

There are four people from Kippax Uniting Church involved directly in this ride. Trevor Lawrence, Edna Kauffman and Roger Kauffman are cycling the full distance, while Eric Mobbs will be one of the roadies.

I don't have the full details of how many will be on the ride, but I expect it to be somewhere of the order of 20 riders and there will be at least 3 support vehicles (these are the vehicles that I know directly about).


This ride is a big challenge for Roger, Edna, Trevor and Eric. On August 17th we will be heading out from Perth on our bikes and for the next five weeks will share the trials, tribulations, pain and joys of life on the road as we ride to Sydney arriving on September 19th in our longest marathon yet undertaken.
We will have distances of up to 200 km to do in a day with average daily distances of 172.5 km for the 7 day period it will take to cross the Nullarbor.

The route is shown roughly on the map above.

I'll post the full schedule as soon as I beat this blog post editor into accepting the table I want to put in!
