Holland Track - Day One

Day One
Left Coolgardie at 3pm. Road is good and temp is very nice. Phil is getting used to pulling a trailer, something he's not done before, not to mention the fact he's not done this sort of touring but hey, he's adaptable. His bike fell over because the weight caught him off guard when we had a pit stop. He developed a bit of a problem with chain skip not long after and I realized the fall must have contributed to it. Sure enough the derailleur had been twisted marginally and once twisted back all was good.
We did 24km and called it quits for the day.
Camp 1, Sat phone comms.
