Some big hills and some serious downhills too, this was starting to make day 2 look like a walk in the park! Some big stacks on this day too, makes one alittle more cautious on the down hills after seeing the SES go in ahead and the B412 rescue chopper beat over head!
Weather: it looked like it was gonna rain but did not, cloudy and cool, nice for riding!

Pretty much the same as the last day, almost the same time and speeds, this day I readjusted the bike seat, put it up by about another 1.5″ in total, this made heaps of difference to my RHS knee, the hip was a bit sore still, but thats to be expected from the prang the week before!
This was a nice ride, pretty flat had some nice lunch/morning tea stops, checked out the river and weir…
The campsite at Nagambie was chaos, everyone trying to get a good spot for the two nights there!
Weather: thats a good question, lol, nah same as teh day before, a bit of sunshine towards the later part of teh day but some nice cloud to keep things cool.
