It rained for 99.8 out of 99.9km for the day. The pools of water on the road came up at us like the wave when a fat kid jumps in a plunge pool with every passing car and truck.
We were both really hurting early as a result of the massive day before so the 100km today seemed like much more.
Washing and drying cycling gear with limited resources is becoming a specialty and the novelty of that part is well and truly over.
Called in to bike shop in Horsham and bought a gel seat cover and also used their pump to get tyres to proper pressure as this is a bit tough with little hand pumps on the road.
Taxi coming to get us to take us into Horsham for a big feed of pasta in a little while.
Touch under 590km ridden in five days, and just over 25.5 hours in the saddle. According to a bike computer between us we have burned 30,420 calories, but that's probably a bit of an understatement.
