I got a late start out of Albany today but a brisk (and welcome) tailwind made up for it. The route took me through Brownsville and Coburg, and over a small but steel climb on Gap Road. I rode by a cousin's house and stopped in to catch up over a tall glass of ice cold lemonade. It was a really pleasant ride.
I stopped at Armitage County Park for the night and paid twenty dollars to lay out my sleeping bag in the grass and take a shower. Dinner was a zaatar pizza in Coburg, half of which became breakfast the next morning (well, a little less than half - I had to share it with a few earwigs that made their way into the foil wrapping).
Tomorrow I'll point my bike to the east and head into the mountains.
