It was COLD & raining a bit. Fortunately not raining at lunch time, but we didn't stop long & didn't get coffee - queue too long. It was good to get to lunch - that bit was hard, cold.
Before lunch, we rode Turton's Track, which was closed to other traffic. It's beautiful! No photos - sorry Andy! - it was just too cold to stop, and I wasn't sure how to capture it anyway. Amazing tall gums, tree ferns and a lovely middle storey with moss hanging off the branches. There was a lot of downhill, but again the road was wet, so we were on the brakes a lot.
After lunch it hardly rained - the road went up and down, and by the end if it I was warned up and even the feet were warm. It's windy (was mostly in our favour) which is good for getting yesterday's wet things dry. We had a coffee when we got here, before finding stuff & setting up - was good to sit for a bit.
Today is our wedding anniversary - missing Tim, and looking forward to meeting him in Torquay tomorrow. So this is my last night in the tent! Rikky thinks she'll stay in it tomorrow night, to complete the experience "properly" - fair enough.
Constant stream of riders coming up the last of the morning's hill - it was very hard work.
