Red 'Stuart peas' growing around the town in Alice springs
Peter rode a 110kms today.
There was a slight side wind, but not enough to slow him down.
Because he is about a half day out of sync with his schedule, he now has another Bush Camp tonight. (It throws all the meal planning out!!)
When he reached Barrow Creek, the roadhouse was running a BBQ (there is a public holiday in the Northern Territory today), so he joined in and had a great lunch.
He also purchased sandwiches, fruit and a cherry ripe for dinner.
As he travels further north, both the days and the nights are starting to warm up.
The ankle was good today, so hopefully no further problems.
Riding along, he passed an Aboriginal community. Four local guys came out to check that he was all right, and whether he needed anything. When he told them what he was doing, and that he was fine, they all yelled at him ‘You’re a mad man, you’re a mad man’.
I guess we have all thought that at some stage!!!!
