Day 7 St Arnaud - Maryborough

Got up early again with the aim to beat the rain and wind and the Easter traffic. We wanted to get to Maryborough in good time to see Marcus race at 1pm. Took a longer but more scenic route where traffic was minimal.
With about 15km to go, we both started to feel really tired and sore and also hating the developing cross wind. It started to spit as we approached the town, but with great relief we made Maryborough dry and in one piece. Even though we still need to ride to Ararat on Monday to catch the train home Tuesday, certainly the most challenging part of our trip was over.

Family dinner in our MASSIVE dorm

Greeted by Fi with loads of food and awesome cabin in caravan park, and got a shower in time to watch the road race - Marcus came in 7th with the stinking cross getting worse all the time.

More racing tomorrow with the 300m sprint-offs and the TT.

Couple of days off the bike looking really sweet....

Thanks for all the messages of support.
