Day 2 – Fri 17 Jul: Woodgate

Ride : 10km

It was a bit fresh this morning so we stayed in bed a little longer. Greg eventually got up when Gunther came knocking saying he was going off to fly his drone at the pub end of the esplanade. After a quick breakfast, Greg joined him. We then went for a beach walk without M&S as Mark had locked the keys in the ute so had to wait for the RACQ man to arrive and break-in! Wendy had to trade the walk on the beach for a walk on the footpath as the beach was not flat and her back and hip were not liking the angle. Mornos was had at the park café and although the muffin and cake were OK, the coffee was cold, even by Wendy’s standard. Note to selves – have coffee in the van from now on.

 After lunch and a rest, we went for a ride to Walkers Point. Well, Wendy almost made it but did not want to push the boundaries with her hip, but still did a 10km ride, which for a second ride back after 14 months off the bike, was not too bad.

Rob and Tinkie joined us at the park (they are visiting us at Hippo Farm) and stayed in a cabin (#505) and had brought dinner with them – slow cooked lamb. We all joined them in their cabin for pre-dinner drink at 5:30pm, then had dinner complete with sticky date pudding for dessert.
