Crossed into NSW first thing this morning and the road immediately deteriorated. Typical NSW road. The rear end bump indicator went straight into the red zone.
Only two groups today as one of our riders had to go to the hospital in the morning due to a fall yesterday. There are no broken bones but he is very sore and can not ride (barely walk). He will be going back to Sydney tomorrow. Unfortunate but that is part of riding and it makes us all that little more careful the next day.
The ride was mostly flat again. Slower than the day before due to larger groups, but an enjoyable day.
Another fall today following a major mechanical failure on Richards bike. Peter (75yrs) run into the back of Richards crippled bike and ended on the road. Scun knees and a few bruise but he was able to continue riding. Would have been a terrible shame if he was injured enough to put him of the road as he has ridden all the way from Broome without missing any. Pleased that he can complete the trip.
Stayed in Lockhart UC and dinner in the RSL club (Chinese).
