Not sure what to do from here. I could bash on through the Adelaide hills but against the wind with the gear loaded doesn’t sound much fun. Or I could go to Victor Harbour by Friday and backtrack to Milang to meet with the Adelaide Cullimores and Sue on Saturday.
Decisions bloody decisions!! After looking at maps and watching the wind whipping around the trees outside, I am riding the latter option.
The ride into Adelaide will then be finished by supported day rides and carrying no gear. We will climb up to Willunga, then travel a couple of rail trails and finally track into Rundle Mall, Adelaide from Glenelg using cycle trails through the suburbs.
There. Decision made…
I have followed this Gold Escort Route for some days now. Here it is again at the Wellington Ferry.
The ferry service started back in the 1800s and in all that time at least 4 boats have sunk. Judging from the lean on this mornings trip it isn’t hard to see why earlier models failed.
So, a quiet day. Washing done. Chain oiled, front derailleur oiled. Book found in Laundry read. Crosswords in paper started but none finished – brain asleep.
Ready to head to Langhorne Creek tomorrow.
