Distance travelled riding under the influence……

After another hearty breakfast we set off round 10 with plenty of room in the panniers for prospective purchases. One hill climb and we were at our first cellar door – a small organic winery.

After a quick tasting we stowed our first bottle of red in our bike wine rack and headed off down the Murray to Mountains wine trail.

It was all down hill to Everton – we only pedalled twice in the first 8km!! – at Everton we left the trail and followed minor roads for the remainder of the trip to Milawa. A hot ride once out of the sheltered bike trail, but fortunately a bit of a breeze to cool us down.

Great produce along the way including olive groves (and tastings), mustard and cheese factories (more tastings). Mandatory purchases at each of course. Let’s just say you’ll be seeing a whole lot more of us when we get back.

Final stop for the day was at the beautiful Browns Brothers winery- where we tasted all things red – all tasted good by then, so hopefully they’ll be nice when we receive them back in Melb.

Tomorrow off to Myrtleford. Have been warned about magpies and slitherers on the Myrtleford trail, so will be riding head down and feet up.
