Today can be regarded as an easy one. A relatively short ride with the terrain flat, wind behind us and partial cloud cover. Still about 30 degrees - so a long way from being cool.
Arrived in Minnadosa about 12.30pm, so quite early compared to some of our arrival times. It's much too hot to lie in the tent. So here we are under the awning of the truck, doing the blog and enjoying the cool breeze.
The day yesterday needs some further comment. Jim, one of the more mature riders at 70+ started to take the shortcut but changed his mind because he thought the gravel would be too hard. He turns round and goes back the long way, striking 16 km of continuous gravel that way as well. Result? A 200km ride and he still arrives smiling! One tough old coot!
I've been for a swim in the lake adjacent the camp, a rather murky affair but refreshing. Chris arrived early and has swum from one side to the other and back - about a kilometer each way.
