After a day of doing not much at all in Auburn I was forced to get out of bed due to the cold. Dropped down to 3 degrees and likely the same for the next few days… not nice😒
Hit the Reisling trail at 7am. All up hill for the first 15km, which was okay for body warming, but not great mentally or physically… a bit of puffing and panting, then a lovely 10km glide down to Clare.
Having skipped breakfast, I was in need of sustenance, so treated myself to poached eggs on toast with a couple of coffees. The eggs were well presented with spinach, radishes, and some slices of unidentified green stuff, which I consumed greedily, thinking they had to be good for me, right?
Took a Google short cut from Clare, which was a mistake as it was all up hill, and the energy I gained from breakfast quickly evaporated.
Very dry country and not much to hold one’s interest, though the distant hills to the west are covered in wind turbines. (I counted in excess of 100). I had a bit of a tail wind, and what with my descent from the Google shortcut, made good time to Yacka, arriving at midday.
What to say about Yacka? … absolutely nothing.
