Wang to Myrtleford 6/11/03

Left home at about 8:20 a.m. and went to Mark's place. Left his place at about 9:40 and headed to Wangaratta.

Arrived at Wangaratta at about 12:30. Had lunch at a cafe then drove to rail station to start.

Ride to Eveton very pleasant. Met a couple at Everton who convinced us to ride to Beechworth. It is ALL uphill. Snacked at the bakery.

Exhilarating downhill run Everton. Then headed off to Bowman, then uphill (quite steep) to Taylor's Gap. Mainly downhill to Gapstead and Mytleforfd.

Arrived at Motel at 7:50. Showered then went to Italian club for tea. Huge meals.

90 km for the day. Fine, clear, 27°, light breeze - perfect!

The rest of the way home is pretty flat but we had a slight head wind.
