Final Day Ararat - Home

We started off our last day with a sleep in and a delicious breakfast.  2 from 2 great meals in Ararat.

We made it to the train station with plenty of time to spare, especially since the train was over an hour late.  This meant that we didn't get into Keswick station until 7pm.
The train trip was pleasant.  We read our books and watched  movies whilst rolling through a lot of the country side we have ridden over.

Just to remind us that it is not all smooth sailing from there, we were graced with another flat tyre 5km from home (in close proximity to the Sussex).  Luckily, we had 2 spares left, so there was no need for alarm, just another short delay.

We finally stepped into our own shower at about 8:30pm and breathed a sigh of relief.

We have ridden across 871.55km, with a total of 38hrs and 47min in the saddle and burnt a total of 46,594 calories. 

Hardest day by far was the hilly first day, followed closely by day 5 riding in the rain drained of energy backing up after the 150km day. 

Easiest day was day 3 (Crap Creek to Kingston) as it was less than 100km and a tail wind.

Lowlight: Tie between the freezing room and raw food (both in Salt Creek)

Highlight: Rolling through countryside on a perfect day in no hurry to Ararat after a big rest in Maryborough and spending time with family at Easter

Now onto research for France...
