There is a cycling God and she looked after us so well today. We had the coffee stop before leaving town in once again overcast conditions however what sets today apart was the back wind we had for our 90 km ride! Yes! With a lot of downhills as well meant we had a dream ride frequently getting alon in the mid 30's kph. This meant we were at our planned lunch spot by 10:30 AM and here at the motel before 1:00 PM. The average speed today as around 24 kph.
There was no rain (nor sunshine) so all in all the perfect riding day. It did however make us stop and think about what this ride would be like in a month or two when the flood waters have all dissappeared and the temperature is in the 30's and the ground is parched - all very hard to imagine at present however I am sure it is the case.
This is like having a day off with the afternoon free! Well not really coz there are things to be done and the bike needs a good clean and service.
