Sunday afternoon here in eastern Australia. We are currently on a small cruise boat(25 occupants) traveling along the barrier reef, visiting small islands and just enjoying the amazing tropical weather. We trekked up Hitchinbrook Island to a viewing area on waterfall section. we had to wade through the surf to get onto the island (not so clever as there are some crocs around this island) great views from the top. Onto Adelaide tomorrow

Wow. Beautiful. It IS an adventure. Just knowing there are “salties” ( I learned that term on a nature special) nearby would make the wading a little quicker.

Thanks guys. Trial and error I guess. I can see it becoming quite addictive, I’m already looking around for what else I can throw in. Lucky for the cats their just a bit too big to fit inside the compartment.

Leaving soon bud.
I’d like it noted guys my bike is in tip-top condition. So if he comes on here later saying my brakes mysteriously failed just before I went over the ledge, someone please ring Scooby and the gang!

From Strava it doesn't look like either one of you touched your brakes.

He makes a good air brake when he gets out of the tuck and off the drops

Thanks Andy. I couldn’t tell how well I’d gone at the time but I was pleased when I saw the time last night. I pushed as hard as I could I think.
I think I’m in the shape of my life right now to be honest. But it’s taken a trip to the Pyrenees, 10+ hours on the bike every week, and really watching what I eat (I’m down to 78kg). So I think I’ll have I’ll have to enjoy it while it lasts because I don’t think any of those things are sustainable long term while also keeping everyone else around me happy.
Andy do you (or anyone else) use live segments on the element /element bolt?
Ps keep the pictures of Australia coming!

Have you tried it? I’m going to give it a go but just wondering if it worked ok. I read the way strava and the bolt measure segments is different.

On the one segment I do it pops up with my time on my element and my own PR but not the strava rank. One of few advantages of a very limited road system is I know the KOM time.
