Day 61 29th August Gundagai to Yass

Felt like staying with the dog and just sitting there but another day lay ahead of us and we had to press on.  All day on the edge of the Hume Highway.  Fortunately the shoulder is wide and reasonably free of rubbish and other things that could cause a cyclist grief.  It was a relief to be out of the traffic lane and the trucks were very kind and gave us lots of room (most of them).

 ''D" team at the Dog on the Tuckerbox (the dog is the one in the middle)

Some big hills along the way to test our legs on, but after eight and a half weeks of riding they don't seem so big as they were two years ago when I last rode along this road.

Morning tea was at Jugiong, and lunch at Bowning.  Dinner provided by hosts in Yass.  Staying the night in Yass Anglican Church.

Young Nick has his Aunty Helen along on the trip so he gets special treatment.  We didn't all get chocolate eclairs.  Sob  Sob !!! 

Sergeant Edmund Parry Memorial (looked like he could do with a feed as well).

Off to Goulburn tomorrow.  More hills but Robyn is driving from Sydney to meet us.  (Everyone is looking forward to seeing Robyn again, especially me).
