Stuart Wells – Alice Springs

A very excited Peter rang at 3.30pm to say he had already ridden his 90kms for the day, and was booked in at the ‘Comfort’ Inn.

We have previously stayed there, and there are all the facilities for relaxing.

He took a long walk around town to stretch his legs.

It is a huge achievement to reach Alice Springs, (especially with NO training prior to setting off).
While kilometre wise the trip to Alice is not quite half way, having conquered the southern half of the ride is a huge mental boost.
It’s definitely the less appealing, and most challenging half of the adventure.
