Unfortunately our group did not catch up with you as we did not follow the CSR right to Well 2 and left the CSR earlier.
Very impressive how much distance you covered every day under difficult conditions.
Every now and then we noticed the bike tracks though and I kept reminding everybody to make donations to the RFDS and check up on your progress when home.
Some people coming from the south told us that they met or saw you, "that cyclist".
At every sand dune we crossed by 4WD, or walked across, I wondered how you kept going, dune after dune after dune, in those corrugated, deep and sandy tracks dug by 4WDs, and how you manoeuvered bike and trailer in those tracks, or off-track amongst the spinifex! Must have been very hard! Congratulations on completing the CSR.
Good luck for the rest of your desert journeys!
You're a star!

Good work Russell. I do a stretch class with Brendan and John Purcell every week and we laugh with admiration at what you are doing.

Hey Russ,

Been catching up with your progress every day.
Keep up the good work mate, you're a champion.
And yes good to see you get exhausted like us mere mortals :-)

Cheers
GJG

Congrats on this chapter of your ride. Good to hear you actually do reach exhaustion from time to time. Hehe. Thanks to the crew in charge of the updates and website. Stay safe out there scorpionboy.

Fantastic effort Russ !!
Your SPOT has been a great tool for us mere mortals following your adventure. To zoom out on Google Earth showed just how many sand dunes there were and how absolute the isolation was as you pedalled through some amazing country.
Looking forward to the photos which I'm sure will be excellent.
May the wind be at you back for the next leg. The Fatback sounds like a great bike but by itself, it wouldn't get very far. ;-)
