Unda and Over
Erdunda to Port Wakefield
Today’s ride felt almost like a perfect day of cycle touring. The weather was perfect. The distance was ideal. The ascent was a modest 360 metres. The views were varied and scenic. The people we met were friendly and welcoming. And there no mechanical issues with bikes. Not even a flat tyre.
Erdunda where we stayed overnight is located in a valley, so the day began with a climb and then a roll down from a hilly range. We took rest breaks in several small towns with a late lunch in Balaklava, where I also did a media interview with the local newspaper ‘The Plains Advertiser’ a family owned business.
From Balaklava it was about two hours solid riding to Port Wakefield where we found cabin accommodation and an evening meal in a local pub.
Tomorrow will be a shorter day ride to Wallaroo, from where are planning to catch a ferry across Spencer Gulf to Lucky Bay. This will by-pass Port Augusta, and land us on the Eyre Peninsula.
