Day 18: Renmark to Waikerie

Back to the morning rush. Everyone said that the truck noise was better last night so most had had a good night's sleep. Jane started the morning with a puncture or slow leak which required mending before she was able to head off. Not too far down the road she had to change the tube again as it just kept going down.

The weather was just perfect and the wind factor was in everyone's favour. Morning tea was at The Overland Hotel which is now closed on Monday & Tuesdays. We still set up our mobile kitchen for the riders. The mosquitoes and the march flies were a bit annoying.

B2 had two punctures out on the road which gave the other boys, Gareth & Julien, the opportunity to get ahead and get into town first. They were so excited to have beaten everyone in- it was great to see. Collis shouted everyone a drink at the pub on arrival. Most of us had a pastie from the local bakery for lunch.


Once we settled in at the caravan park Annie, Theo and I had a coffee at the chocolate shop- I actually had the iced chocolate (to die for). It was a bit expensive - the chocolates that is.
