Up early this morning and boy is it cold! Very invigorating. Collis has suggested they all leave around 7.30 am as the forecast is that there is a higher chance of rain around midday or later. It may not rain but best to avoid it if you can. We only have 70 kms today but everyone is still worried about the log trucks. Can't do anything about them so I have advised them to just get off when one is coming up behind them.
Everyone gone by 8 am with Neil leading the pack today. We soon come across Doug and Di and we know something isn't right as they had left a half hour before the others but they're now behind Jacquei and not far from Jim and Jen. Apparently Di's cleat is worn out and she is having trouble peddling on one side. Hopefully this can be fixed in Portland- she was offered the spare bike but declined.
Tailwind today and everyone happy even though it is still cold and the log trucks are out there. Jacquei said she has just been getting off the bike when the trucks come along and everything has been great. All into town by lunchtime.
