Day 10 - Rest Day Albury & Ride to Ettamogah Pub

26 Oct

Today was another rest day on the ride in Albury…

The weather was cloudy with passing showers for most of the day. There were some sunny periods to make it a mixed bag really! The temperature was around 20 degrees for most of the day.

Again we awoke early after a night of watching the Budget speech by the new Australian Treasurer and it was full of the entirely predictable comments from the press which makes the whole event pretty “ho hum”

As Chris said nothing really changed for us on our ride today in the budget.

The good news is that we have continental breakfast included in the room charge, so after showers we made our way to the dining room. The breakfast was good and filling!

E then made our way on the bikes to the Ettamogah pub along bike paths and roads and enjoyed the scenery along the 20 km route. The pub itself was okay but not spectacular and we had morning tea.

After waiting for the showers to clear we made our way back to Albury along a more direct route and we’re back at the motel around 2.00pm

I then made a 2 km walk to the laundromat to do the washing.Once again this was between showers!

Some silly women at the laundromat accused me of staring at her, to which I apologised and made sure I did not look at her again. To be frank she caught my eye as a typical bogun type!

After making my way back to the hotel we awaited the arrival of Ellio Stocco who is traveling to Albury by train to meet us for the ride back to Melbourne.

Tonight we will have dinner in the dining room at the hotel ahead of an early night of rest before we make the way to Melbourne over the next 4 days

Another good day on the journey!
