The heat, the heat but glory, glory it’s now raining gently….maybe this’ll break this heatwaves back! \u00a0At about 3pm ish we had a massive gusty wind session for half an hour (woke me up from my arvo sleep!) it has been so hot, and that statement is coming from a Northerner!<\/p>\n

trying to take photo's of self, this was up a steep pull, with mega trucks attempt 10 at actually getting a vehicle in the shot!<\/p><\/div>\n

We’re camped on the banks of the Goulburn River and Joe is keen for a fish tomorrow at the Goulburn River Top Tourist Caravan park, who the owners have very generously donated two nights site fee to ride4acure. The Top Tourist Van Parks have been awesome, no hesitation at any of them to donating site fees. I’m humbled.<\/p>\n

Had a brilliant bike ride again averaged 18kms per hour on the huge undulating hills in places between Euroa and Seymour, after the last three days of riding on the flat it was great to have a few hills! Never thought I’d be saying that eh!\u00a0 I\u00a0 left Euroa at 6am pre sunrise and it was hot then! Kim Honan from Mid North Coast ABC rang in for a live interview just before 7am! It was fantastic to hear a voice from home. Kim was the first journo to interview me on radio about ride4acureack in Kempsey at our Celebrate the Macleay Field Day.\u00a0 I’m feeling seasoned now though \u00a0having had about a dozen interviews on radio. The Wagga Wagga newspaper has ran a great story on ride4acure and Harden Cup, also the Wangaratta Chronicle has ran an article to today.<\/p>\n

on track for Seymour <\/p><\/div>\n

I got here had lunch time (had\u00a0many ‘phone stops’ today, with about ten calls while I was riding, each of which I had to stop riding to take) \u00a0and had a sleep for over\u00a0nearly three\u00a0hours in the sweltering heat!\u00a0 I didn’t realise I was so tired, it has been hot here of a night and daylight til 9pm so I haven’t been going to sleep til 10.30 then getting up at 4.30-5am each day.\u00a0 Whilst I was having my sojourn this arvo, Young Sam took a couple of very unglamourous shots of me sleeping sprawled out with a wet facewasher on my head!\u00a0 \u00a0Joe let the cat out of the bag when I woke up, I quickly deleted evidence of my inglory much to the humour of the boys!<\/p>\n

Joe is cooking dinner tonight we have nachos on the menu!<\/p>\n

this is a really long steady pull up! awesome ride down the other side:-)<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

Riding in Victoria is just beautiful. things I notice is that the roadsides in Vic are so much more cleaner and litter free than NSW! Next to no debris from vehicles on roadsie. Only\u00a0 the odd few bits of tyres and cables, nothing like the extensive array of spare parts I was seeing up til the border! And the other big thing is broken glass, it is everywhere, however I have seen less and less the closer I get to Melbourne. It amazes me that people could actually chuck glass out their windows with the intention of smashing it! On the bike constantly on the watch to avoid riding through it.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
