A easy day of just 40k along the Armidale Road and we’re entering sheep country. I arrived in Armidale at 11:00 and checked in at the Showgrounds, where there happens to be a circus this weekend. I got permission to set up my tent right by the camp kitchen, so really convenient.<\/p>\n

Went into town to have a coffee and bite to eat at Caffiends, excellent coffee (!) and a bruschetta. I discovered another missing spoke today. I keep being amazed that spokes just fall out without me noticing. After trying it the lazy way and have a bicycle shop fix it, but they were too busy, I fixed it myself and no doubt saved a pretty penny in the process. Afterwards I had drinks and nibblies with Cole and Carol, who I met yesterday at Wollomombi and who are camping at the showgrounds as well. While there it started to pour, but under their awning we were fine.<\/p>\n

Some of the buildings at the showgrounds<\/p>\n
Then a visit to The Welder’s Dog, a real<\/strong> lively brew pub where they served a real<\/strong> IPA in a real<\/strong> pint glass! Next door I ordered a pizza at Armidale Pizza and rode home to eat it in the camp kitchen.<\/p>\n All in all not a particularly tough day.<\/p>\n Total 40k 3:10h 580m+ 540m-<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Friday 8 Feb 2019 A easy day of just 40k along the Armidale Road and we’re entering sheep country.
