Jim (ride leader and organiser) celebrated his 70th Birthday yesterday (29th July). Much fun was had mostly at Jim's expense. Balloons on helmet, presented with training wheels and many renditions of 'Happy Birthday' (even once in Italian).
Jim turns 70.
Two great days of riding, especially today as it was the shortest day of the entire ride and good tailwind all day.
Still a few with upset tummies though improving. So far the bugs have stayed away from me.
These last two days we are staying in sports complexes. Both are relatively new and extremely well equipped. Someone in WA has spent a lot of money on facilities in small rural towns. Would be great if we could get such facilities in NSW rural towns. (Any pollies reading this take note).

The weather has been much more pleasant the last few days and the riding easier due to good tailwinds. Road is smooth and traffic light which has allowed us to ride two abreast again.
Robyn is sitting here in the sun with me doing puzzles while I type. The afternoon is just lovely.
Roadies are cooking for us all again tonight so will be another terrific meal.
The following is a link to todays ride (I hope. Am slowly working out all this computer stuff). "http://ridewithgps.com/trips/1545947
Here is the elevation profile for today. Looks a bit like the Swiss Alps but it wasn't quite that steep. Scale is a bit deceiving.
