Cold old morning this morning with another thick fog. We chatted and gave some advice to some Korean cyclists that arrived last night- they are riding 7050 kms from the Gold Coast to Perth via Uluru and the Great Victorian Desert. They are supported by a Korean based company but they are carrying all their own clothes and they share one tent. All very basic. Also another guy who is unsupported and riding up to meet his son in Pimba. His son has ridden from Germany to Adelaide by the time he finishes.
Doug and Di are concerned about traffic out of Port Augusta and seem concerned regarding the climb over the Flinders Ranges (although I found out later that wasn't the case) so they left as soon as the sun appeared. They were going to ride to Melrose unsupported as the others didn't feel the need to leave so early.
We stopped at the lookout on top of Horrocks Pass and decided to have morning tea there. Lovely downhill ride into Wilmington and then onto Melrose for lunch. Di and Doug were still there when we arrived and they bought a couple of things at the bike shop. The shop had a welcome sign out for us when we arrived as well.
Then an easy ride into Laura although there was a little headwind for a short period but it soon turned around. Jacquei rode with a bee next to her for 5 minutes waiting for it to sting her but he just flew off.
