Rotary ride around Australia


Raelene went to the Rotary Ride around Australia Port Lincoln dinner on the 17th and said it was very interesting hearing the stories of the trip so far.
Mary and Jeff rode out with the RotaryAround Australia cyclists on the Friday morning out to Tumby Bay. Eyre Peninsula put on a bursting head wind for the riders.
Many of whom, were tired after the big ride from Elliston in the rain on the Wednesday.
It was a shame that the head wind did not allow much conversation with the riders.
It looked to me that a trip lik this with such a tight schedule would be hard work with rest days being eaten up riding, to maintain the schedule.
However every one looked to be in good spirits and keen to get on with it.
They had a very efficient back up with three vehicles and a great trailer.
They have a website on the net with some interesting blogs detailing their day to day life on the road.
The website is http://www.greataustralianbikeride.org.au/


I will post some pictures when Raelene emails them to me.
