Day 7 Cootamundra to Cowra 120 kms

We had an early start today after a wet night. The day dawned crisp and fresh with a beautiful blue sky. All riders were off on time with Peter coming up the rear today. Woody took off early and we hardly saw him all day.

The crew convoy stayed together for most of the day. Collis got a little disorientated when we arrived in Young for morning tea break and he couldn't work out which rotunda he had chosen for the break. It didn't really matter as 6 of the riders rode through Young and had their own morning tea at the local McDonalds. We ended up at the Young Historical Railway Station (because it had a toilet) and a table with chairs. The rest of the riders found us but when they went to the toilet we found it was locked (Good Friday). Anna & I went for a walk in the direction provided by Theo who thought he had spotted a toilet. We ended up in a residential area but fortunately when we asked one of the locals for directions they kindly let us use their own toilet. They had a very lovely renovated historical home and we had a lovely tour along with the relief.

On the way out of town Jan was breathalysed by a booze wagon and was found to be over (or so she said, I think she was wanting to be locked up). Collis tried to pull in for a breathalyser but they told him not to bother. They shoed him away.

Lunch break was at Koorawatha= a quiet little town with nothing open.



There was a cute little old lady who Fliss took a photo of as she was sitting all day out the front of the old bakery and told Fliss her life story.

 The toilets had heated seats due to the sun shining in on them.  Alf, Ben & Jerry didn't bother stopping for lunch instead they continued onto Cowra.

Cowra caravan Park mucked up our booking and we have been cramped into 2 camp sites. Everyone has been pretty good about it and set up their tents very close to each other tonight. We have grass sites and it is green and soft, plus we don't need keys or a code for the toilets.

Collis and I put on a BBQ tonight with fish, veggie burgers, chicken wings, rissoles and sausages. For the overseas riders we cooked a small piece of kangaroo steak for them. I made a green salad, potato salad and a coleslaw. All went down very well and very little was left over.

Looks like it will be a cold night tonight.
