Cycling For a Reason
Hi Everybody,
Details and Analysis of my day 15 : http://connect.garmin.com/activity/20057754
Today the stage was quite small. I hoped that I will not have the wind against me for this time. I was wrong. For all my journey the wind (33 km/h) was against me again. Thankfully the temperature was quite cooled and even cold. I wore a sweeter as I felt cold when I left Glendambo. The temperature was 14 degrees to reach 31 at the end of my ride.
The landscape were still annoyed except the lake that I have crossed. Now I’m quite happy to reach tomorrow Port Augusta and to see back the civilization. The road was still not so nice. I was quite slow today due to the wind. It’s really frustrated to cycle in a such condition but anyway I have still my tenacity to go ahead.
I reached Pimba at 11h45 after 5h09 in my saddle. Once arrived my Dad wanted to take some petrol for the car. We are staying in Woomera just close to Pimba only at 8 km. Woomera set up shop in 1946 as the headquarters for experimental British rocket and nuclear tests. Now it remains an active Department of Defense test site.
It’s now for me to have a nap and also I have to prepare my ride for tomorrow for Port Augusta 174 km. Unfortunately I will have again some wind against me.
See u tomorrow...alive
I have crossed the incredible Lake Hart only at 41 km from Pimba.
