Most riders made the trip out to the Pinnacles before riding today and found it worth the effort. Collis took me up to the admissions gate but backed up when there was the thought of a cost involved. It turned out there was no-one on the gate anyway & we could've got in for free. We saw some small pinnacles.

Sandhills & black boys were the decorations for the day and lots of both. I have never seen so many black boy ferns and couldn't work out which were the male or the female- apparently big difference. All I could think of was how much these plants cost back home.
The wind had turned and everyone was struggling today but no-one as much as Rob. We were getting a bit concerned at morning tea & was just heading back to look for him when he rolled in. He just needed to eat to get his energy levels up and then did the rest of the day with ease.
The rain was on & off all day & was pretty steady by the time we got to Guilderton. This was a shame but we had to expect it eventually. Not nice riding when you are wet & nothing worse than a wet tent. Quite a few riders upgraded to cabins tonight & tried to dry out a bit.
Big day ahead tomorrow!
