Hi all, I’ve been back in MN now since Sept. 20th, wow, 19 days already. Have I given up riding a bike, well NO! Approx. 500 kilometers since my return. I am finally sleeping through the night on USA time again. Getting my USA body rhythm back again took longer than I expected.
I am still working on getting Aussie pictures and video organized. I am getting close to putting them up on this blog. I’ll try not to make it boring. There is a ton of pictures and video and that’s just my media. I am sure that Bushy and Scotty have an equal amount. I’ll get mine up and then I think Bushy may have the Black Dog Institute working on some of his.
In between working on media I’ve put together a post that is mostly for those bike geeks who are demented about bike ride DATA. Like all sports, biking can have all sorts of ways to measure performance and results. Below is a list of that geeky data. Those who like data, enjoy. If you don’t like data, well there still might be some interesting points of information about the overall ride from Aug. 1 to and including Sept. 12. Hope it fun for you to see this. Or you can just think, what a crazy way to think about biking. Enjoy either way.
All the stats related to Pat’s 2022 bike ride across Australia and then some for those of you who love to analyze bike data. Scotty’s will vary some from this but will be similar.
