Well, Some say that ADV riders are soft :dry:
Check this out,
Dean Nuttall completed the course in 7 days (14 are allowed for the route)
7,347klms in a moving time of 80hrs 40 mins
avg speed 91 kph
:woohoo:Now that is hooting all the way,,,
I might add that Dean is a top 10 rider in the likes of Erzbergs, Romaniacs, Aus Safari and heading for Dakar 2012
Still a big effort I think

A huge effort Beags but a 91 kph average and the course finished in half the time I think makes a mockery of claims of how tough it was going to be. Yes I know how talented Dean is but that’s an incredible average speed eh. People driving the freeway to Brisbane won’t have a 91kph average :ohmy: That said even dirt freeways if there was such a thing 91 for 7k is quick
Next years course will be the same route in reverse, I would love to know how much bitumen ended up in the 7k

On my recent Prerun ride I did I still had the GPS log saved. I travelled 298km of which 80 km was tar with a top speed of 140kph ( up my drive on the way out of course
). My moving average was 66.8kph and I was having a pretty good go.
Dean Nuttall must have been flying or their must have been some very good surfaced sections to up the average.
One day on the high country ride our average was 38kph and we covered nearly 400km in 8 hours ?I hear ya Nick,,,,
He is a freak rider, but it still seems too fast to be true hey ?????John who is running the rally seems pretty happy with it all, so it seems to be legit

The whole rally seems to be well organised and full credit must go to the crew. I have enjoyed following it on ADV and can see it will be a success and more people will have a go next year.
Having said that I would rather ride 7000 k’s with OB’s and put the money left over to charity, we have enough knowledge here to be able to do a ride like this on a smaller scale of course and pick where we ride and how much tar we do etc etc.
As I said before top effort buy the organisers and I wish them well for next year.100% on all accounts Boulder. The effort to run this event is mingle blowing and John is a freak to pull it off he deserves every bit praise and more it has been so well doone. I to have followed it on ADV hourly almost, bit am shocked after all the pre event hype about how tough etc it was going to be with so little tar how far people have done thus far.

It does seem bloody quick, like I said I can’t get to Brissy with an average of 91 and I don’t spare a car. As above John should seem happy it’s an awesome effort to get this pulled together
