These places are far apart. To cycle to a big town further than 65km, I had to do over 160, so I started at 4am. Speeding through the dark, the first shades of pink developed behind me.

The main road to Lake Cargelligo has no town in between, so I took a side road that followed the Lachlan River. That way I had some civilisation after 68km. Little did I know this involved 50km of dirt.

The back road
The bitumen resumed after Euabalong, and I even had a tailwind (rather than the normal headwind) for the last 10km.
I spent an hour relaxing on the lake shore.

Bedankt Michèle. 🙂
There’s a one lane sealed road from Condobolin to Lake Cargelligo.
Yes. I chose the other road to pass a town before Lake Cargelligo to fill up with water. All good. 🙂 It’s a nice part of the world there.
