Gavan and I arrived safely at Yulara Resort at 2 pm today after a great ride of 85 kms from Curtain Springs. We had our first glimpse of the Rock at about the 40 kms mark. It was a visual feast. The Storm clouds hovering above combined with the sun intermittently breaking through the clouds cast a shade of pink over the rock.

Gavan and I have decided to ride the last 18 kms to Ayers Rock when Raj, Jenny, Hannah and Lily arrive. Our final ride will occur on Sunday, as they will not arrive until late Saturday night after flying into Alice and driving to Yulara to meet us.

It felt like someone was looking after us today. We had no rain although it threatened all day. We had sunshine against the odds and we had the wind behind us yet again. The saddle soreness also finally subsided for me! No punctures today and the ride went perfectly to plan.

Now we have internet access again we will post some photos and more dialogue tonight and tomorrow. Thanks for following with interest. Your support and comments have helped us Peddle On.
