Day 7 - Mendooran to Narrabri NSW 199km
Today: 199km
Total: 1483km
That’s one week already!
Bit of a ground hog day really with another early start, breakfast at 5:30, car packed and on the road 6:15 for a 63k trip to pick up where we left off yesterday, then the joys of another 200 hundy!
We kept loosely to our ride 50k vacuum up food, repeat. Thanks again to our support manager for the pies, coffee buns, coffee, filled rolls and many other treats.
Highlights today we’re crossing a ford (about 25mm deep), nearly getting run off the road by a train of roadies in convoy (at a point where there was no shoulder to speak of) and riding on a yet to be sealed new road which was smoother than the actual road. Oh and one other highlight was the 100k of mainly flat ride into Narrabri.
Only two lowlights and that was the 100k of undulating back road where we seemed to climb forever, descend a little and climb again and again. Then there were the miles and miles of roadworks.
Still we’re here now in Narrabri some of us exhausted and almost comatose.
