Midland to Wooroloo 1989

Midland to Wooroloo, Day 1, Tuesday 24 October 1989. Left Midland Railway Station at 11.20 am, up Great Eastern Highway with a good tailwind. My contour map showed that the steep part of Greenmount Hill would finish about 8km from Midland. I got to 6.5km without changing to bottom gear, then had to leave the road because of two overwidth trucks, and their escorts, crawling up behind. After that I completed the climb in bottom gear with no trouble.

Stopped at Mahogany Creek and again just after Chidlow. Reached El Caballo at Wooroloo at 2 pm. Had rest and swim. I was the only guest staying there. At dinner, waiter Danny Bailey expressed interest in reading a copy of my biketrip report.

Reading at Midland: 17020km. At ECB: 17062km.

Distance for day: 42km.
