It didn't rain during the night. It was a little windy so I was able to pack up a dry tent for the first time in a long time.

Then it was time to do some more kms on the noisy highway.
After a while I heard a noise coming from my rear tyre.

I unscrewed it easily enough. It didn't penetrate through the puncture-proof lining of the tyre. Phew!
It was an overcast morning which kept the temperature to about 20C. It made the cycling so much easier without the hot sun beaming down on me.
The sun came out after a while and I stopped and covered myself in sunscreen. And then 10 minutes later it started to rain.
It was only light drizzling rain. Not wet or cold enough for me to put my rain jacket on. Eventually though I became pretty wet.
I turned off the highway and on to the Tweed Coast Road. I stopped at Pottsville for a salad roll and another coffee for lunch.
Then the rain stopped and it was back to pleasant cycling weather. I even had a small tailwind.
I used several different cycle paths.
