Day 24 Rest in Longreach July 7, 2009

Rest, rest, rest. Recover, and feel good. Some wash, some have a massage, breakfast at a cafe, just take it easy. Most visit the Stokmans Hall of Fame, so, so interesting.

Rossco services bikes, swaps tyres back to front and replaces a few chains. How do you survive a ride like this without him. On tour we have,

Phil and Tony on Raceline Giros running Shimano 105

Ian on a De Rosa                      running Shimano Durace

Rossco on a Trek Modone 2009  running Campagnolo Velove

Alan on a Trek Modone  2009     running Shimano Durace

Bryan on an Argon 18               running Shimano Ultegra

Jack on a KHS Flight 750          running Shimano Ultegra

Garry on a Giant TCR C1           running Shimano Ultegra

Craig on a Cannondale              running Campagnolo Record

Denise on a Merida                   running Shimano Ultegra

Mick on a Cervelo                     running Shimano Durace

Dave on a Wilier                       running Campagnolo Chorus

Marty on a Trek Modone 2004   running Campagnolo Chorus

 

So there is a variety of hardware on tour and Rossco carries spares to accomodate most problems, and two spare bikes as well.

[this is good] Hey Marty,  It sounds like you guys are just having too much fun.  I  reckon by now that you all have muscles in places where most of us don't even have places.  Keep up the good work.  Chappo
