Riding along the SOB this morning, Mike Branson and I bumped into AVO and his merry men just setting out on their EPIC 400-km 'River Murray Muster'
Being such a wicked day (weather wise), I was just wondering if anyone had heard from them ?

They got to Swan Reach (via Kapunda and Morgan) at dusk - 250km later!

What sort of suffer score do you think it will get?

We made it!
Mission accomplished!
It was HOT!
Great effort AVO & Co.
Can't wait to read the blog.

My total for 2 days was about 425km, but the distance is only the start of the story. The 47.9C on the Garmin for most of Saturday tells quite a bit more..
Awesome riding from AVO and Richard "Dark_Horse" Smith.
cheers

Permalink Reply by Rob (Chewbacca) on February 26, 2012 at 18:10 Is this trip going to be a regular annual trip considering you called it a muster....some pretty harsh rough looking country out there....hope none of you guys were needing to drink out of the sheep troughs as long stops between water out there. Looking forward to reading the blog.

At times it was a serious sufferfest, no question, but when it was cooler (dawn and dusk mainly) it was very enjoyable. So yeah, I'd maybe like another shot at it- just not next weekend....
