Yellowdine – Merredin
Posted by cyclenullabor on April 16, 2009
Last night the moon was so bright it almost lit up the entire sky. Spectacular.
Easter Sunday and although we passed through half a dozen towns it may as well have been none as they were all pretty much closed. The local pub owners did bring out a tray of hot cross buns when they saw us sitting eating a couple of apples outside their pub though.
The terrain finally started to change back to farmland after weeks of bush which was a welcome difference in the landscape, but another hot day meant we were pretty exhausted again when we made it to Merredin. Amazingly, a supermarket was open in town (an Easter miracle) and we were able to buy and cook our own dinner, something filling as well as delicious.
Our second last night on the road! So close yet tomorrow’s ride is still over 160 kilometres so it feels like a long way to go. We had been lucky to have a tail wind pushing us up to 50k an hour on the flat and 30k up the hills so it had been a good day, all we could hope for was more of the same.
