Day 5 - much better

I woke up determined to be cheerful today. We left Cann River just after 6am and it was tough to turn the legs over, I was struggling to do 20kmh on the flats and before long we were going up our first sharp incline. But we have a plan now, we do 2 hours first thing before our first break, so I know where the first rest will be and can look forward to that. Next was lunch at Eden, and dealing with a cloud of flying ants before and afterwards. I was glad of my sunnies, not for the sun protection (it was overcast all day) but to keep the bugs out of my eyes. Eden was at 110km so we split the remaining 50k in half, with the second half starting in Merimbula with the climb up 'Magic Mountain'. Not long after we arrived in Tathree the wind and rain came. We've been so lucky with the weather so far, there were two wet days early on but other than that it's been dry and the winds have been behind us and quite light.melts hope this continues for the last three days. Stats are here. 2k of climbing today. http://connect.garmin.com/activity/123947705 Paul
