Today, 4th September was an easy one for the cyclists. The distance for the day was only 90km and the wind turned out to be light and generally across the direction of travel. We had feared the winds would be strong and a total headwind – our fears were unjustified! There was plenty of traffic but, again, not as bad as we had anticipated. Thank you Lord.
Having arrived into Port Pirie before lunch today, there was ample time for showers and then a bit of sightseeing. I took a busload of riders and roadies into town and we wandered the streets for an hour or so. I suspect some of the coffee shops made a profit at our expense! Port Pirie is a nice tidy town with lots of old buildings which are in excellent condition.
We are staying at the Lighthouse Church (Uniting) which appears to be alive and having a ministry in the district. We thank the people for their hospitality and for the use of their facilities.
Tomorrow we head for Burra, a small town located in the Flinders Ranges to the east of here. We will ride/drive through small towns such as Crystal Brook and Spalding en route to Burra. It will be a very rural ride compared to the what we have done today. Some of us are looking forward to it!
