As I was flying to Alice Springs on Sunday 15th May, I was filled with such inspiration...so much so that when I saw the green trickles of land winding their way to Lake Ayre, I felt new life, overwhelmingly so that I was holding in tears of...

What on earth happened?

Its time to give you the goss on what happened on the weekend.

My chance to get the 3 in a row Aussie solo 24hr champs has been and gone and the sense of relief is pretty good.
