Today's ride as planned was quite easy - 77 kms and just a few hills. Left about 7am, the hills were early and made good time. Arrived at Eiisvold and was keen to keep going, but unsure how I would go after a hard day yesterday and now planning to travel during the hottest part of the day. So after a BLT sandwich and a power nap in the park, decided to stay and headed off to the camping ground. What a shithole.
With that, I took off for Munduberra. There were a few hills early but felt strong. At about the 100 km mark, I overheated up a big hill and had to sit under a tree for half an hour to cool down. No breeze and only hot water, it was 40 degrees on the road. Nice view from the top of the range though (see the photos).
Thankfully, that was the highest point on this leg and it was all downhill into Munduberra.
I was beginning to wonder if anyone out here had heard of a sprinkler, this caravan park has plenty of them. Pitching a tent on grass - 5 star.
A recovery day tomorrow. Try and do this 45 kms easy, hopefully I haven't used up too much petrol today.
Had a good steak at the bottom pub, met up with a bloke who passed me on the road.
Only complaint is a rapidly deteriorating backside.
Leaving downtown Monto for Eidsvold.
Viable country
