Day 31 Robe to Mt Gambier 130 kms.

Beautiful morning today with clear blue skies and mild temperatures. Everyone got away at good times although I thought Woody had gone earlier just to find out that he had gone back to his cabin and fiddled around for at least another half hour so when we caught up with him he had only gone 15 kms. He will be late for morning tea.
The wind is behind them and most of them are flying along. The Irish boys were going really well today and were up the front with the bobsie twins (Pat and Lorraine).
The scenery is once again lovely today with pastures and lots of sheep. There is soo much water sitting around in all the pastures. No drought around here.
Had lunch in Millicent where we caught up with Robbo who has ridden out to join us for the rest of the trip. There are quite a few Morgan cars driving along our route today. One Morgan car got very close to a number of the riders and Jim went up and spoke to one of the drivers to report him and ask him to stay away from the riders.
Woody had trouble with his bottom bracket, which seized up and we had to pick him up and drop him off at the bike shop in Mt Gambier. Lovely campsite with most of the riders opting to camp.
