When you wake up at the beach and feel a nice steady wind in exactly the right direction you know its going to be a good cycling day. And so it was!
During the first part of the day the road clung to the cliffs making up for more spectacular views. I felt like stopping and taking photos every time the road turned, but at some point I had to just continue in order to make any progress.
I have really been impressed by the Great Ocean Road. I have cycled other nice stretches of roads on this trip but not continuously for 200 km.
On the last beach before Geelong the wind got very strong.
For the night I was going to meet Freddie and Guy from www.abikejourney.com. We first met 1½ years ago in Singapore. Guy and Freddie had since finished their own trip and settled in Geelong. We had many cycling stories to share. Thanks for a great evening guys!
Waking up on the beach, cycling the Great Ocean Road with a tail wind, and meeting old friends for BBQ in the night. Can it get any better than this?
