Leonora - Coolgardie

The second marathon day in a row took it's toll on the Quad division, Smith had had his roadbook roller break down yeasterday and has had to do a whole day with it not functioning properly, we organsised to get another one from the GHR Honda team though and fitted it up at the Coolgardie Bivouac, the only other problem for today has been tyres, all the quads have had flats today and there were a few flat tyre balls in Smittys wheels when he came in for service.

Colin has done another belt in the Renegade, and is still plying with the set up of his CVT clutching but other than that has had a trouble free day, setting the fastest stage times of the Quad trying to make up for his 5 hr penalty from the day before.

John's hybrid is holding up well also with his only drama's being a broken swaybar link and a torn CV boot which were quickly repaired at bivouac.

One of todays selective stages was cancelled due to a rider being airlifted out with serious injurys so all the competitors were re-grouped after the frist selective and sent on a road section to bivouac.

set up and ready for service at Coolgardie
