Threeways was a good stop with many campers up and off before us heading both north and south. The Barkly breeze which we wanted yesterday to blow us west turned up around bed time and continued until we reached Wycliffe Well. It played bloody havoc as a cross wind for everything on the road.
Today's ride was a long one for us at just over 500kms. We rode under threatening gray skies until Ti Tree with the temp getting down to 17c.
We called into Devils Marbles and Barrow Creek (remember Falconio and Lees) and Aileron (Aileron Man and family).
Arrived in Alice around 3pm and stopped at ANZAC Hill.
My front tyre had been wearing poorly and was close to the wear mark on the RH side. Rang the local bike dealer just before 4pm, he called back in 5 and I was in and had a new tyre and brake pads (supplied by me) fitted and rode away by 5pm. Exceptional service with an $80 discount on the tyre to boot!
Currently having a light meal at the Gillen Club before retiring to the tent via the free club bus.
