Day 10
Saturday 23rd Feb
Port Wakefield to Port Augusta
211.3kms
A long day of cycling. Not much time for mucking around, we spent most of the day on the bike in the hot sun. Some how we managed to cycle a massive 211.3km day, stopping only a couple of times. Once for a couple of pies at a little servo somewhere, and then once at the turn off for Port Pirie for some dinner. We pulled into a little roadhouse, and the guy who ran it was a legend. They hooked us up some extra mash potato and chips with dinner to keep us fuelled. It was tempting to sit inside and watch tv and do nothing after dinner, but we kept moving.
All day my throat was really sore and I found it hard to swallow food. My knee was still sore, and progressively getting worse. In short spurts I found inspiration to up the pace a little and make some good kilometres.
We rocked up to Port Augusta late around 1am to stay at the Big 4 Caravan Park. The tents were set up in a flash, and bed proved to be high priority after such a massive day.
