Taka mate... where were you to shield me from the head wind??? 
I'm scared of heights... the West Gate Bridge made my knees shiver. I really thought I was going to get carried away over the barriers as the crosswind got stronger just after you rang me. I kept pedalling away thinking about eating 1 whole roasted chicken after I get to the finish line.
My times are:
Melbourne to Sorrento 3H 37mins (97km)
Queenscliff to Melbourne 4H 10 mins (115km)
Ohhh... I ate 4 blueberry muffins at the finish line. I wanted more!!!!
Hopefully, we can do the same journey (same direction) for next year's ATB event.
Remember, our training for next year starts this Sunday!
Overall, I had a great time!!!! Who wants to join us next year???? Who knows, you might be as famous as Taka on national TV!!!!
I need your autograph!!!!
EDIT: Whoa - we had the same time Taka!!! That is freaky We even missed the first ferry... I missed the 10am due to tickets all taken. Waiting for an hour is not easy as it was bloody cold.
BTW... good effort there Will! How did Gary go???

OMG if Peter has got it right then we are all in trouble in the Eastern states!!
So what;s that now: Cows won't milk, curtains will fade, is good for solar energy as it's more viable...more daylight hours..work that one out!
Has the humidity finally taken it's toll on poor Peter???
Good luck with your drive day Missy...sounds like it will be fun.
Newflash...we have run out of Tim Tams...disaster!
