Day 44 - Wednesday 20th May 2009.
About lunchtime, I had my first ride since being on this trip. I rode along the sealed bike path along the Katherine River, into town on the west side and back to camp along the east side, about 12kms in total.
About 400 meters into the ride as I am struggling up an incline surrounded by 3 ft high grass, a kangaroo bounded across the path in front of me. An interesting moment.
On the way, back to camp, I checked out the Hot Springs, they looked inviting. I arrived back to camp after approx 40 minutes. I will probably ride the next 2 days.
Day 45 - Thursday 21st May 2009.
I went for my second ride today, all the way upto the Katherine Hospital, no I didn't need the hospital. A total of 17kms.
Tomorrow, I plan to ride to the RAAF Base and then we are off to the Hot Springs.
Day 46 - Friday 22nd May.
I went for my third ride today, I followed the bikepath along the river, into town, then along the Stuart Hwy to the RAAF base. Only problem was, that I ran out of bike path at the road that goes to the Katherine Airport. A total of 35kms. I met Dean another cyclist who is a Fireman on the RAAF base, nice guy.
