Today, at times a grey, even dark grey image appeared just off to our left side of the bike and a little in front. It kept the same speed as we were travelling and remained alongside of us for a short time. We all commented on it and then again a bit further down the road it appeared yet again. When we stopped at the Cafe it was one of the locals who pointed out the reason for those images and of course when they did we then remembered what a "Shadow" looks like and when outside what is the cause of it. The sun of coursee!
Yes, today we began to see glimpses of the sun - not lots but enough to know it was still up there and today we did not need our raincoats on for rain as there was none (a first) however as it was a cool 8 degrees when we started today we had our raincoats on to help keep us warm.
We stopped at a lovely town "Avenal" for our morning tea stop and then a pie at Seymore for lunch.
All good riding and not a lot of navigation required other than our route upon leaving Seymore ended up at a locked gate! It wasn't too much of a problem as we were able to backtrack a little and pick the route up again. We came upon another "Closed Road Ahead" sign and decided to carry on and maybe ask at a farmhouse along the way. We didn't have to as I stopped a car coming the other way and he said "no problem, you'll get through". Get through we did although had we been a few days earlier we wouldn't have been able to as the bridge approach had been washed away in the recent (and ongoing) floods.
We arrived here at the Motel a bit after 3:00 PM which is a good time as it gives us time to clean up and chill a bit before sorting out where to go for a meal.
Tomorrow will be the last day of the Sydney to Melbourne ride and ti would be nice if again for a second day we will get to see those shadows on the road beside us. Fingers crossed.
