I am having another day off. It\u2019s wet here and not so good for trekkers riding in black mud! Will be heading into West Wyalong tomorrow though.<\/p>\n

I took Billy and Wrangler into town yesterday to a Bowen Therapist Emma who has hopefully worked some magic on the \u2018boys\u2019 and they\u2019ll be loosened up. They\u2019ll have another treatment on Friday afternoon when I\u2019m in West Wyalong.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been staying with Richard and Sue Maslin at \u201cMinoru\u201d. Richard rode out the last ten kilometers on Sunday to accompany me to his station and it\u2019s been an absolute pleasure to spend some time here. Richards brother James was so kind to organise all my camp overs along the Newell between Forbes and West Wyalong and I\u2019m so grateful for\u00a0 his help. Staying with people is so good it means my horses have a safe paddock for the night and not tethered along the \u2018truck artery\u2019 of NSW, and also I have a warm, comfy bed for the night, a good meal, a hot shower and company! Doesn\u2019t get better than that!<\/p>\n

The trucks on the Newell are constant. I\u2019m guessing that as many trucks use the Newell as the Hume Highway. This assessment made from my bike ride last year. The good thing about the Newell is it\u2019s a wide (mostly) stock route and I can get off the shoulder a bit. Having said that it gets pretty narrow ahead on this last leg into West Wyalong.<\/p>\n

I will be off to West Wyalong High School on Friday to present \u201cMela-What?\u201d and had the good fortune to meet some of the high school kids at various places I went yesterday and they\u2019ve all been gearing up for the visit and are fundraising for ride4acure with a crazy hat and sunglasses day. I love the creativity that emerges through this! Am about to go and give the horses their nose bags\u2026.that means I have to get out of this very comfy warm bed! Ah the luxury\u2026<\/p>\n
