Rain over night threatened to make todays 180km ride rather unpleasant, however, the sun was shining this morning as we rode out of Albany. Praise the Lord. Good winds most of the day and in one short stretch when the wind was directly behind us we sailed along at 40km plus. Really good fun.
I rode with the "B" team again today. This team is riding really well now and we beat the top team into lunch and to Jerramungup. The down side is that we are now the team that leaves last in the morning and have to clean up the venue including the toilets. Me thinks we will ride slower tomorrow.
A group of Christians from a very small locality called Wellstead provided lunch. Home made vege soup, bread rolls and salad, lasagne, and spaghetti bolognaise and fruit cake. Wow what a feed for lunch. "Well fed in Wellstead" is a new B4B motto. Thanks again to the generous folk at Wellstead.
Garry ( only a confident cyclist wears pink) pointing out the Wellstead Community Resource Centre where we had lunch.
Farming country side around here and the crops are looking good. Some canola well out in flower. One family in Wellstead has 8,000ha in crop as well as sheep and cattle. They strip their crop themselves.
Staying tonight in Jerramungup football club (Aussie rules of course). Met a man who came from Ki Ki (near Peake(where I spent the first 10 years of my life)). He knew Bert Howe (old school mate). It's a small world.

Some of the wonderful angels who catered at Wellstead.
