Launceston & Cataract Gorge

Tyres fixed – ✔️

Lost mobile phone retrieved from car hire company- ✔️ (And not N’s)

Successful practice ride – ✔️

Did what we thought would be a cruisy 13km ride along the banks of the Tamar toward Cataract George. It soon became apparent that the biggest challenge we will face on this trip will be the wind. We managed to cop a head wind on the way there and back. So arrived home looking like we had had face lifts – gave true meaning to Mum’s old saying “if the wind changes your face will be stuck like that”.

The Gorge itself was gorgeous- we did the 7km walk around the edge – too narrow to rode so poor old David had to push the bike – unfortunately I couldn’t convince home to push it with me on it.

Arrived home pretty pooped wondering how we’ll make the 60 km tomorrow with a headwind.
currently in a pub waiting for my Atlantic Salmon and hoping We’ll have the energy to climb the (enormous) hill back to our B&B.

This guy put on a show for is
Who needs a bike lock when you have one of these watching over your bike!
