HOPS!
Well, it's coming up a year (Sept 4th) since we lost Davo - and here is another reason why he is sorely missed around the world.
This is one of his entries on his own website helping out 100s of riders and bringing us all a little closer together.
Check out these stats and have a think about the enormity of this achievement. I google mapped these locations and it is truly staggering what an accomplishment this is. The first link (below) is a great read of the trip. Remember that Oz is roughly the size of continental USA......
My 6 day Transcon ride was an avg of 1700klms a day so came out at over a 1000m daily avg for 6 days straight which is why I worked it that way. http://www.davojones.com/transcon.htm
Total distance - 10,274 klms ( GPS ) 10,367 klms ( odo )
Total Time - 5 days 21 hrs 17mins
Overall Avg = 72.4
Moving Avg = 108
Time moving = 94.46hrs
Timed stopped = 46.31hrs
24th Aug 2007: Byron Bay - Port Augusta SA - 1946 klms - 21hrs 08mins
25th Aug 2007: Port Augusta SA - Coolgardie WA - 1844 klms - 18hrs12mins
26th Aug 2007: Coolgardie WA - Denham WA - 1352 klms - 14hrs 40mins
27th Aug 2007: Denham WA - Norseman WA - 1505 klms - 15hrs 45mins
