I woke to an overcast day. Luckily I didn't experience any rain.
It was hard to give up my comfy hotel bed and start pedalling.
I spent most of the day cruising on Big River Way, beside the Clarence River. It was flat and not too much traffic. I only had to ride on the busy motor way for 10kms.
I stopped in Ulmarra for a coffee. While I was enjoying the drink, Steve came over and asked about my trip. He lives in the church across the road. He offered me the use of his shower. A kind gesture from a stranger.
I wasn't too stinky as I hadn't been riding long so I declined. It made me feel nice that he offered.

Yesterday and today, my bike hasn't been making the knocking noise. Maybe all of the rain washed the bike clean of dirt?
