Most of the ride will be in warmer winter conditions until the last two maybe three weeks where it will start getting cooler. I can easily arrange to have a warmer jersey or two post to me as I get closer to home, e..g, a merino style from Ground Effect or the like. It is really the major part of the ride in the outback that will warmer and where something providing sun protection etc is where I am light on for clothes at present.
