This day was supposed to be relatively easy - just 101km. And while the rain kept away apart from one brief shower, the wind did not!
We heard the wind come up during the night and I think most people lay in their sleeping bags wondering which way it was blowing. It was blowing the wrong way. Not full in the face, but an ugly wind from roughly a front quarter. Almost made me glad I was still not on the bike today (I reckon that's a few days away yet). My guess is that it was a 45kph wind. It was not a fast day.
Today we were joined part way along by Alex and Margaret Hood who will be with us as rider and roadie for the rest of the trip.
Kimba asserts that it is half way across Australia. Don't know what their measure is, but it doesn't match our distances. Also I'm not sure what the connection with the Galah is.
