Ok my legs are shaking…
We rolled into Molong after today’s 170km cycle from Young and met up at the local cricket field. This of course was after stopping at the local gelatissimo which happens to be the headquarters of one of Australia’s only high quality ice-cream manufacturers.. It was the most welcome end to an amazing second day. I got a choc-chip / burnt caramel cone and milkshake, recommended by the manager, which happened to be the best ice-cream mix I’ve tried!
My legs may feel like jelly but I couldn’t be happier. Ok so that is maybe the endorphins I’m running on, but it’s still a great feeling to get to know a bunch of great people as we cycle along some of Australia’s nicest rolling hills. The air is so clear and crisp with powder blue skies, we couldn’t have asked for nicer cycling conditions.
Yesterday had steeper hill climbs yet today was more difficult to get going as just sitting on the bike seat was a pain in the bum. I started off the first few kilometres standing up. 🙂
I have taken to eating a drinking a lot as it is a decent pace I’m finding my energy use is pretty high. Been trying to stay away from too much pure sugar but of course snakes and cold Coke cans are hard to resist!
