Last night there was a big party nearby to the park. They finally turned off the music at midnight. It kept me awake and so I slept in this morning.

My kind neighbours offered me eggs on toast for breaky this morning. I already had fresh milk and cereal prepared so I politely declined.

Troy and Tilly were out for a morning ride.

They are staying in the same park. Troy let me have a quick go on his electric mountain bike yesterday. It was amazing and very fast.

Today's road pic. The trees were surrounded by wheat or sheep.

Near the lizard, I saw this brightly coloured caterpillar.

It was a few kms off the main road so I didn't visit it.

The terrain was undulating all day. The weather was warm and I had a small tailwind. The traffic was light with no road trains. One cowardly driver expressed his displeasure at me for no reason.

I was at the pub for dinner when Geoff rolled in at 5:55pm. He had put in a big day and had caught up to me. We enjoyed a stir fry for dinner.

Today's ride: 81 km (50 miles)
