Day 27 Dongara to Cervantes 145 kms

One of the many sandhills following us today.

The original plan for today was to ride to Jurien Bay and then a longer day tomorrow. The wind was pushing the riders down the road and they did not need to work all that hard but it had been predicted that tomorrow the wind was going to turn. At morning tea time we discussed traveling further with all but 3 of the riders while they had the favorable winds. Collis & I decided not to make a decision until we caught up with the front runners which didn't occur until Jurien bay. It was decided to go on from there which was only another hour onto the day as the wind was still blowing. Arrived at Cervantes around 2.30 pm just dodging the rain. 40mm fell at Jurien Bay that night so it was a great decision all round.
Rare photo of Alf riding- he's just too fast.

Cervantes is a nice little town with some great seafood but don't buy fresh go to the club for a cheap seafood platter.
The clouds are building.
