Day 30 Temora to Young

What can we say? Another fantastic day’s riding.  Blue skies, little or no wind, pleasant temperatures.

Before we started we had a visit from the reporter/photographer from the local newspaper who wanted to do an article on us.  He took the obligatory photo of the massed group, then got all the names in photo order.  He then headed out on the highway and waited for us at two spots as we rode by and took a stream of photos.

Over the trip we have had visits from photographers from a number of newspapers, and Jim or a substitute has been interviewed by a couple of radio stations.

Today’s ride had a few more hills than yesterday, though still basically flat.  It gave those keen to stretch their legs a chance to blow the cobwebs out of the system.  There’ll be plenty more of that between now and the finish.

Because today’s ride was short we only had morning tea on the road.  Lunch was provided for us at St John’s Anglican church when we arrived.  The morning tea stop was beside a church built in the late fifties and apparently in the middle of nowhere.  We’re accustomed to seeing very old churches in such places, but not one so modern.

Roger was not without his tyre difficulties again today, but he is not worried about making it to the end.

Since we have plenty of time after arriving in Young, there has been plenty of time for people to get their computing “fix”.  There’s almost a little Internet Cafe here.
