Day 63 31st August Goulburn to Picton

Quite a few of the riders who have done a portion of the ride joined us again last night.  Dave, Stew, John G, Paul C, Annette, Dianna, and George.  Also three others who started at Goulburn came along as well.  Hence the groups were larger than usual.  My group of four grew to seven.  The extra legs helped in keeping the speed up.  Managed 33.5km/hr average which is pretty good for such a hilly ride.  Slight tail wind helped.

Popped in to Mel's parents home to say hello at lunch time (their house next door to the park).  Mel was there as well.  Good to see her.  Her Doctor said she wasn't allowed to ride with us.  O well.
 
 
Sitting in Picton town hall at the moment having a chat as a group about the ride.  This is our last night together.  Sad really.  Will miss it.
 
 
Sometimes each day reminds me of the movie 'Ground Hog Day' with Andy McDowell and Bill Murray.   Here is a reminder of the movie.



Like the movie each days starts out the same.  But as the day unfolds the experiences are always different and seam to get better each day.

Tomorrow is our last day of riding. Then it's back to 'normal' life again.  I wonder if I will still fit in.

  1. Allan,

    Thanks for the updates for each day - you seemed to miss one though - the last. Well done on a fantastic effort. I have enjoyed following you along the way. Rest up well and I pray that Ruth is all ok now.
