After what I would describe as a challenging week post surgery, I had the privilege of flying Business class to Perth followed by a road trip to Albany with some of my best friends. Cameron and Gerard, I cannot thank you enough for your generosity.
Special mention to all the members of the Port Lincoln Mens shed who helped me on the day of the accident and messages of support since.
When something like this happens it really shows how the community can come together to help someone in need.
I have really struggled physically and mentally this week and now face a long recovery over the next few months. I think the biggest impact has been the fact that all my planning and hard work up to this point has been snatched away.
With my family around me it will smooth the road ahead and I look forward to eventually recommencing my trip, although it will most likely be next year.
Julie-Anne Ramsell, you are my biggest support and I know the next few months will be hard but with you by my side I can do anything. Love you wife x.

*Update* I had surgery yesterday and all went well, my bones are screwed back together. I'm not sure which is worse - fasting while waiting for surgery or hospital food. Today I will start physio and I'll be attempting to book flights home and commence the insurance process to get M back on the road. Miss that bike already, but not as much as having family around me.

Thanks for all the messages of support. It really helps. Keep them coming. Still waiting on surgery - maybe tomorrow. At least I have my own room.

MILDLY FRUSTRATED. Yesterday I was struck when a vehicle failed to give way at a roundabout in Port Lincoln. There will now be a slight delay in completing my Lap of the Big Paddock. I'm having surgery today in Adelaide. I'll keep everyone posted.

Balladonia to Streaky Bay. The Wind! Knocked the stuffing out of me for the last 2 days. Ahead of my schedule so should be able to take it easy for the next couple of days.

Esperance to Balladonia. Enjoying great weather and great company. Thanks James and Joanne for your hospitality.

Finally hit the road to ride around this Big Paddock today. Thanks to all those that came down to see us off. Thanks to the Albany Mens Shed for having me yesterday, thanks to Endurance Mining for the sponsorship. Thanks to all who have generously donated so far. Most of all thanks to my wife Julie-Anne for supporting me in every way. Esperance tonight, hit the Nullarbor tomorrow.

This thing followed me home today. Won't be able to play for a couple of months until I get back though. M is almost ready, just going to give her a service and final pack over the next few days. Massive surprise for Evie-Rose this afternoon. She had no clue I would be home for her 18th Birthday tomorrow.

M has a stable mate. Unlike me, I have no stable mates.

May or may not have bought a little friend for M. Yes the DRZ400 needs a fork seal replaced. Won't be able to work on it for a few months though. Leaving in 2 weeks!

Thats a big butt. Hard cases for road touring on the Southern half of the Lap. I'll switch to my soft panniers for the Northern half as there will be a lot of dirt. M is now displaying my main sponsor - Endurance Mining.
Still plenty of time to donate just see the pinned post on my page.
Getting excited 3 weeks to go!
