Monday 25th Feb Beachport to Robe

We had the wind on our backs and a straight straight smooth road. This area is called the Limestone Coast. It was like a cycle machine at the gym. We were sure that the scrub on each side of us was just a video loop as the road ahead just went on and on. Soon did the 30 miles into Robe where we intended just to have lunch. A ping on the back wheel told us that we have a broken spoke however so we decided to camp up in Robe. Immediately ahead of us is over one hundred miles of straight road with just scrub at the side. A daunting prospect at the best of times. We were thinking of getting the bus anyway and the bike has now made up our minds for us. The Adelaide bus does not go from Robe until Wed so we can have a day off in Robe to think fully about our options and have a days rest in a nice seaside town. We have done over 2000K now and perhaps we need a change and had enough of long stretches of remote scrub although it was a good experience for someone from the UK to experience. No pictures today as just a long straight road although Robe seems nice. The weather has turned very cool and there is talk of storms in Adelaide and Sydney so keeping one eye on the clouds.
