Yeah, we made it! Strong SW headwind and rain down to Geelong; waited 1 hr for ferry at Queesncliff which meant a 2 hr break. Pretty cruisy up the east side of the bay from Sorrento until about 25kph to go when we hit a nasty cross wind - struggled to keep the bike steady and moving. Hit the wall but revived by hot chips, coffee and energy bars at last rest stop (should have gone the other way - people who went clockwise got a great tailwind coming home and motored along at 45kph). After setting off at 6.45am we finally crossed the finish line at 7pm!
