Day 9 Molong to Dubbo 114.67 kms

Early wet start today. As soon as the sun rose the first rider left the campsite in the rain. They started off pretty much riding together except for Woody who had a bit of a sleep in and requested us not to wait for him at the morning tea stop because he was so late. I made him some plunger coffee as an Easter treat and to get him started.

The rain hung around for a couple of hours before it cleared away although it had threatened much of the day. The rain didn't dampen the day as it was once again a lovely ride. The route was changed again due to Alf's influence and it was enjoyed by all riders. All along the route were these sculptures of animals on bikes produced by the local community as a charity raiser. Jerry had the best day and could not stop laughing all day.

As it is Easter Sunday we had a huge bowl of Easter eggs for morning tea.
The traffic was not too bad today and we were supposed to be going downhill most of the day but there certainly seemed to be alot of steep hills if you ask me. Woody caught up with some of the riders by morning tea but then dropped off a little after all the chocolate. Most of the riders were taking their time photographing all the animals up till morning tea and then took off after then.

Rob & Peter got caught up photographing everything and following the alphabet of the animals. They came into camp around 6 pm. We were getting a little concerned but we had kept phone contact all day and they were having such a wonderful time.

Dinner was had at the local bowls club by most of the male riders and it was $20/head for all you can eat.
