Tips - Plan your ride timing:
- To align with required check-in times for your ferry.
- To minimise the ferry crossing time.
- If you were to allow as much as 5.5 hours for the ferry crossing, this ride would require a overall average of 87km/h during the remaining hours. - You do not have to speed to complete this certificate.
- Your timing will need to be highly accurate and you will require very efficient stops.
- This is a challenge of planning and execution.
