Day 13. 30th December.

It took Mike 5 hours to ride 72kms to Iron Knob today. He did have a head wind, but was in the right frame of mind to cope with it. After yesterday's experience, I think he will be on a high for a while. Brian & Michelle from the pub in Iron Knob have kindly put him up tonight. Another lovely couple who are very helpful. He is actually sleeping in an old school room that is over 100 years old & has been converted into very comfy accomodation. I am having trouble trying to type this blog up tonight, as our big dopey Golden Retriever insists on rolling around in all the cords that I have connected from our laptop to our our other computer. I am sure there must be an easier way to do this. Just as well she is a very cute dog is all I have to say. The dog was Mike's idea of a surprise birthday present for me earlier this year. She is the most spoilt member of our family & she thinks she is the bee's kness.

Anyway, that's all for tonight folks. Cheers, from Julie McKenzie. P.S. I am very excited now as Lachlan (other half of support crew) & I head off to join up with Mike in one more day. My big task for tomorrow is to get everything thats in the garage into our car!
