The hotel earned its status as the worst to date – breakfast was also late! I only managed cereal and scones before leaving the hotel about 6-30am, despite dire rain and thunder storm warnings!
Our hotel room had a badly sticking front door, very little room, fleas in the carpet, right next to a busy road, faulty sink plug, no fan in the shower, faulty toilet and a leaking ceiling. A great place!
After 4 miles of town, the road rolled gently through tree lined and crop paddock lined roads. The sky was heavily overcast but no rain fell all day. A light breeze was a cross and tail wind all day.
The 1st sag was at 45 miles and after this, the road was mostly flat and the wind pushed me through more field of corn etc. I arrived in town about 11-50am as the 2nd sag was no where to be seen!
Cycling for the day was 106.0 miles in 5hrs 02m with a max of 39.3 mph. HR was generally 120-130 with up to 160s pushing up some of the hills.
Dinner was again served late and was the absolute minimum – salad, bread, past, sauce peas and turkey.
