Updates

Once again im in the terrible habit of getting up at 5.30am to start riding at 830am. We got our lift to morriset country club for breakfast and then had to wait for my bunch to leave. Group 10 left first and my group. Group 3 left at 8.30am We arrived at morning tea the 40km mark in 1.15 hours. It makes such a difference to be doing a tour on a road bike instead of mountain bike i rode through africa last year. We did another 45 to lunchand just as we arrived the heavens opened upand we got drenched. After lunch we had 45kms of rolling hills and pissing down rain. After a nice hot shower its time for a cup of tea and some home made cookies my aunty Pat gave me this morning at breakfast.I will probably rest up all afternoon and just eat cookies. Tomorrow is 145kms. Hopefully the sun comes out

Day 3

After sleeping on the floor with my roll out mat, i woke up at 5.30am. If theres one thing i hate about cycle tours i getting out of bed early. So, we rolled down to the bowling club and met up with my fellow cyclists. Today we were heating 129kms to north Gaven. At least it stopped raining for the ride. OUr first destination is Nabiac at 50ks We were really moving with the whole bunch doing turns. Morning tea was a nice coffee with carrot cake.Back on the bike for another 50ks to lunch. More rolling hills and the pace was really on, i was really happy to take a good break. With only 25kms to go we rolled along to the town of kew.THe whole bunch stoped for a couple of beers before rolling down into the town of north haven.First thing was to have a nice cappacino and relax We finally reached the Jacarenda Caravan Park and located our cabin. After a fantastic shower and shave im ready for another hiding. Early night tonight for tomorrow is all hills.

Day 4

Finally a good nights sleep. After getting up at 630am and having a light breakfast it was time to hit the road for the 40km stretch to morning tea. Our group worked really well and we caught and passed 3 groups. it did try to rain throughout the day but thankfully we all stayed dry. Today's ride was from north haven to nambucca heads, a distance of 140kms After morning tea i missed my group who took off without me, i waited for group 9 and joined them for a easy hour until i came across a crash. One of the guys in group 4 got a flat tyre and ended up going over the arm railing. He was so lucky not to have suffered any injury.One of the guys from my group had a crash and had to go to hospital for stitches. I rode with group 1 for 15kms and they really push it along.After lunch i joined back up with my group for the final 50ks to end the day. The traffic conditions were very dangerous. After having a nice hot shower, i finally got my first leg massage. Gee it really hurt when she pushed hard into my muscles.I hope the legs are better tomorrow. With a good meal and night sleep ill wake tomorrow feeling a million dollars.
