At the end of yesterdays ride we knew today would be the start of the hardest days of the trip.
We kicked off at about 6:15am and it was cold and damp, after about 15kms the rain started which made it colder, we stopped after 47kms and then again after 101kms at Lakes Entrance which was well needed.
It was hard getting going again as the legs had cooled down but I after a few kms I had warmed up and attacked the first climb with a bit of anger and it seemed to work...The legs felt like they were back to where they were a few weeks ago.
The final 20kms into Orbost was really fun and great scenery, great place for riding.
I was even happier after finishing as we covered 162kms which also meant I completed my first imperial ton ie over 100 MILES.
I would like to make a special thank you to Carol at the Triple F cafe in Sale who gave us 5 coffees and 3 sandwhiches free of charge as a way to help us with what we are doing, thanks again.
Tomorrow is another big day, so time for rest.
Cheers
Carl
