DAY 49 - GLADSTONE SA

GLADSTONE SA

DAY 49

REST DAY

A nasty old day it was.

The weather bureau forecast everything that came forth – all except the hail.

A pounding northwest wind all morning was backed up by 5 hours of rain in the afternoon.

And it tumbled in buckets.

Top temps of 10ºC prevailed for the most part and not much better is expected tomorrow.

Glad as I am to have taken a rest today, a ride tomorrow is not a high priority.

It’s the wind that I’m against.

A cold, caning headwind is not my friend at all.

Rain by itself is civilised, but the wind is brutal.

I’ll ride if I can, but nothing to be decided until morning.
