Well Monday morning dawned early for some as Dave needed to get to the airport - so Johann, Kathy, Dave, Loren, Ashlea and Hayley set of at 3.30am (after only sleeping for 90 minutes) for the Sydney airport where they dropped of Dave and picked up a renta car to transport the team home.
The rest of the team woke up had breakfast at the roadhouse and headed in the two Britz vehicles to Goulburn where they met up with Johann and Kathy in the two vehicles. In Goulburn we unpacked and cleaned out both Britz vehicles and the packed our bikes and luggage in to the rental car (Ford Falcon) and Johan and Kathy's Toyota Prado. Mitch, Rob and Emily drove the smaller Britz back to Sydney and returned it, and they themselves got flights back to Melbourne. The rest of the team jumped into the two cars and started the drive back, the Richmond family jumped in the larger Britz and headed back to Melbourne the scenic way, via the beach - last heard they were in Bateman's Bay and Damian was looking for playing cards as he was bored - Debbie tried to explain to him that sleep was an action word, and one that he should probably think about!!
Damian will add his own entry here - fully explaining his thoughts and reasons - please don't forget this man is an amazingly strong and gifted rider - with the four days of tailwinds that the current record holder experienced - this record would now be at 7 days or less - but this was not God's plan - at least not this time!!! THE BEST IS YET TO COME!
