Greetings from Oakey!
Day four! This is a very quick post from the Oakey library's internet kiosk. The ride so far has been terrific. The first day was a short ride, around 40Km. I met all of mum's friends from last time. A nice bunch of people!
Day 2 was tough. Very hilly. It hurt. Around 77Km all told.
Day 3 was very good. Killer headwinds for the first 18Km or so, but afterwards, smooth, flat, quiet roads. I set a new speed record! 51Kph! Very pleased about that!
Today's ride was theoretically quite easy - mostly flat with a few hills here and there. In practice, I found the ride pretty tough and was close to bonking at around the 20Km mark. It was all I could do to keep going. Mum was prodding me from time to time to get my act together. I sat on her wheel when I needed help. But there were times I just broke away from her too, and put 10-20Km between us. But she always catches me! ![]()
Going gliding tomorrow. It's the first time I've been in a glider. I'm very excited about it!
Anyway.. gotta scoot. My time on this kiosk is limited and I've all but run out. I've taken heaps of photos of South-West Queensland's scenery. When I get back I'll post them for all to see! ![]()
