Did a Ton!! Charters Towers to Pentland - 106kms

We did it - we made it all the way to Pentland!
Got off to a delayed start when Del discovered that my trailer had a flat tyre.
He quickly fitted a new tube and fixed the puncture in the old one. A nasty grass "thorn" was the culprit!
The trip was a roller coaster ride of hills and hollows, with a few lovely downhills.
Towards the end we (I) were so exhausted that we were taking more and more breaks. Consumed litres of water. Very hot cycling in 27 degrees.
Near Pentland, as we were cycling, and out of the blue, a hand appeared from a car with a donation. Spurred us on to the finish line.
Taking a basic Cabin at Pentland Caravan Park to recover.
Feeling pretty chuffed with the day - and exhausted!
