The road through the mallee was long with lengthy stretches with noone. To pass the time I repeated the town names, over and over again, rolling the r. Lameroo. Pinnaroo. Lameroo. Pinnaroo. I didn’t make it to the Victorian border in one day, but almost. Over 10h30 on the bike.

I learned early on that I should not follow the ‘bike route’ that my app constructed.

Not an easy road

I’ve had lots of sandy road before in the desert in central Australia, but I don’t need it here. I only had 500m or so of deep sand, but it was a bit of a slog in the sun.

The rest was just keep on pedalling through the quite strong side-wind. Tomorrow Victoria. Yay!

  3. You Lucky guy, Sunny weather, spring in Australia. It’s freezing in Belgium, minus 5 degrees this morning for my daily 25 kilometer bike trip to Brussels, but I enjoyed it as we all enjoy the life of cycling.
