Day two and three. Oh for a traffic light, a pedestrian crossing, an intersection….anything! The last two days have really tested me mentally and physically. Day two was a short 60k ride but gee it was punishing, and today was 90 with some climbing and a mother of a cross/head wind 😢. And to top it off I staggered in to the roadhouse here at Barrow Creek to be greeted with ‘gday mate….hope you weren’t looking for somefing to eat cos yer outta luck!’ No food here till tomorrow. Great!! But luckily I have my dehydrated stuff and a tin of rice pudding…living the dream!! Mentally I’m coping. Missing Niamh like crazy, but slowly as the Ks tick by I’m rediscovering a little bit each day about myself. So whilst the food is crap and the Ks are mind numbing in their tediousness there’s something to be heard in that silence.

Thanks everyone for checking in – I can’t answer all of the posts as well, I usually don’t have a signal. Special shout out to Jill who built the site and is now uploading my posts as it’ll be September before my one bar of 3G (yep, 3….not even 4!) is able to post anything!!
