Day 3
October 13th 2008 03:51
Start time: 0.530
Temp: 22
Wind: Great tail wind - then Sadistic again
Distance: 164km
Leaving Whyalla was fantastic - while it was dark, the tail wind kick ahead and the going was a blistering 34km/h to Pt Augusta. Then the fun started as we swung to Pirie, a 15 knot headwind for 90 k was a real challenge.
Just a matter of gritting the teeth and knowing the next 4 hours will be a slog. And it was.
We finished at the Council chambers with three of the local riders, average age of 70! Real goers for last 10k and really enjoyed their company.
A local tv station interviewed me and when I was getting ready for a ride through - I fell off the bike! HA HA HA.
The reception was very hospitable with the Mayor, who let me use his office to thump out this blog. I had a quick look though his stuff and could find no secrets - so he's clean.... kinding!
