Only 90 Kms to go and it could have been such a lovely spin – not to be – wind on the nose yet again but with Charles driving the train doing most of the hard work we battled on and made reasonable time. Arriving at Alice at about 12 .30

great to be here – my bum has told me – in no uncertain terms that it does not need to sit on another bike saddle for a day or two – I am happy to oblige.
