Towing the caravan from Victor Harbor to Adelaide today, had a person pass me on the left using the run-off/ run-on lane from a intersecting road on my left. Gave me a bit of a surprise. Could have ended quite nasty for him if he had he run out of cycle track.

Hi all, its going to be 45 C in Adelaide tomorrow and 49 C in many other towns around the place, so just a reminder to drink plenty of water. Yeah, I know it's commonsense, but it can save lives in that sort of heat, especially if you are caught out in a van, etc. Also keep an eye out for fires too. Thanks folks....
