No wind before morning tea which made for some difficult riding- at least the temperature had not kicked in yet. Last night was our warmest night yet where we didn’t require even a sheet covering us. Some threatening clouds this morning but nothing will eventuate.
Morning tea was at 50 kms on the side of the road. Lunch was at the Ellendale rest area at 88 km mark. Wind picking up slightly but still not strong and neither a help or hindrance.
Pleasant surprise for the riders as they were told to expect a 130 km day but it turned out to be 118 km to Blina Station turnoff. Nice area for a bush camp with cleared areas and a few trees. Collis spoke with a guy coming out of the station who worked there and he said we could camp under the trees on the property. Jerry, Gareth and Geoff took advantage of this offer and were rewarded with plenty of shade. The others had some difficulty finding shade but that was their choice.
Dinner tonight was Chicken Korma followed by bread and butter pudding with cream. Nice campfire and everyone seemed to enjoy the evening. There was a lovely moon rising and sunset.
