Windy night with the promise of good tailwinds for the day. Riders were up and off early. Annie’s day started with a flat tyre. Everyone beat us to the morning tea stop at Ngumban Cliffs Lookout. This was a spectacular view but difficult to capture on film. Joe rated the toilets here as 4.5 star and yes they were very clean and no smell.
The cliffs and surrounding rocky outcrops were very impressive and made for a pleasant drive/ride. Next stop was a drink stop at 80 kms on side of the road. Lunch was at 110 kms with 35-40 kms to finis the day. By this time the wind had dropped off, the road had turned and this made for a very hot day. Michael is struggling with fluid intake again but he is determined to ride all the way. He made it in after being supported by Pat & Lorraine. Collis went out and topped up their bottles and they rode in the last 5 kms together.
Cycle Across Oz supplied a 3 course roast dinner at the restaurant. I think they were surprised at just how much cyclists can actually eat in one seating. Most riders had seconds and thirds of most courses. One rider had 3 bowls of soup followed by a roast meal and then a platter of fruit. Camping conditions pretty good here with green grass and nice pool.
