Cycling Australia Diaries

Hit the dirt roads today and faced a head wind but were fortunate to have a break in the rain for most of the day. Spent about 2 hours in the afternoon battling through a 10km section of dry weather only road which was thick sticky clay. We found after a while that pushing the bikes was hardly even possible as the clay completly clogged the wheels. Made it to Mitiamo just before dusk and had a great night at the Mitiamo Pub where we stayed the night. The locals were very friendly and the atmosphere was great. Was happy to have our first shower since leaving Melboure. Enjoyed a few beers and slept by the open fire on the floor.
