The Tiring Ride to Rising Tide.

Day 3 - Sassafras to Nowra

'Age has wearied him, and the years condemned.'

Although another cracker of a day for riding, especially as it was mostly downhill, the knees are packing it in so I'll be catching the train from here to Newcastle. Booked in for a sports physio on Thu to do a 'bike fitting' as I am 99% confident the new seat was not installed in *exactly the same place as the previous. Hence .... angry tendons.

Am also confident I can pull volunteer shifts at Rising Tide (from Thu arvo, after the physio) doing 'stuff' ..... while not out paddling a kayak, taunting the constabulary.

Nowra is a lovely, sleepy town. And the campsite is awesome. $25 a night (that's Aussie dollars, not real ones) and full of laid back residents. Shoalhaven Caravan Park.
