Day 8 Swan Hill to Euston

As for the last couple of days, today was very cold, 3 or 4 degrees, which made things that little extra difficult.  We left the Caravan Park at 7.30 am for a 140 km ride to Euston. We rode well, and luckily, we had a tail wind which helped getting to our destination a bit quicker.

The average speed was 30 km/h, sometimes going as high as 35 or 36 km/h. It was a fantastic ride, but the sun was shining and the cold soon forgotten. The problem with some of these rides is that, they are long but can become quite tedious, due to a lack of scenery or towns.

We arrived at our accommodation, to a beautiful setting next to the river. The group had plenty of time to relax and clean up, to end up a glorious day at the Resort's restaurant for a well deserved dinner.

Here are some photos of the day:

Tomorrow is a nice recovery ride, about 85 km to Mildura. We will have a special guest riding with us, all the way to Mildura. So tune in for more in the next blog.

Until then,

Cheers
