Day 41: Wagga Wagga, NSW
Distance cycled: 81km
It was a similar start to the day before. The hills that we have to climb were less. But it also felt like there were less rest areas. We made sure we hydrate and refuel, stretch and slap on enough sunscreen at every opportunity.
When we had dinner in Gundagai at Niagara Café yesterday, Sue read an article about the first 2 kayakers to successfully pedal 3,500km across the Tasman Sea in 62 days. The owner of the café is friends with one of the kayakers’ father and he has been an avid follower of the expedition since day 1. It was a very inspiring story!
In some way, it also made our attempt to cycle across Australia seemed a little less daunting. Today, there were barely any rest areas to stop but at least we can pull over to stretch our legs after every hill we conquered or whenever we felt like it. Unlike the kayakers, it’s the ocean and only the ocean. They would probably have to risk their life and jump into sea for a stretch in the presumably shark-infested water. Yikes!
