Today was a very flat day for me energy wise today, the ride today took me half hour longer just because I lacked in energy. The legs and butt are going great and muscles aren't sore, just the lack of air and energy is doing my head in.  Plenty of hills, hills and more hills again today, nothing like the Miriam Vale hills, but plenty again to know that I had ridden hills for the day.

Phoenix radio phoned and aired me again today, which is great. We stopped in one of the sugar canes whilst we did change over and radio chat today so this was good for the kids as they got to touch and taste sugar cane, so a real sugar rush today....

I rode 52.8ks today and this took me 2hrs 46minutes. My average speed was 19.08 and my maximum speed throughout the day was 55.84 (Yep down hill but I am claiming it!!)

I have ridden 1451 k's total so far and in doing this I have had 66.55 hours in the saddle.

Lucas popped in to see me at Childers on his was home from work (driving from Rocky) so that was a nice surprise. Lucas is a fellow CF friend who is back into work and working hard doing some big K's driving a truck. I think I like the idea of doing the k's on the bike instead.. Thanks Lucas for popping in and saying G'day, it was good to see a familiar face to visit the camp.


Getting set up for the days ride.

Change over - putting the sign up that Megs and Mum made - I think this is the first time that we are using it....


Chilling out before Phoenix radio rings.


Chatting on radio and stretching at the same time!!
