Lachlan Morton is nearly a third of the way through his 14,201km around Australia record attempt, launching into the first ten days of the riding challenge with a scorching pace and weather that is beginning to match.

The EF Education-EasyPost rider had clocked up more than four-and-a-half-thousand kilometres since leaving Port Macquarie in New South Wales on Thursday September 5. He stopped in Darwin on Saturday afternoon, having planned for an easier day.

“I got some lunch with the gang, feeling a lot better now, finally got some food in and stayed down so got a big bunch of energy back,” said Morton who went on to clock up a day of around 500km, even though he encountered an “absolute sizzler of an afternoon” on Friday.
