Distance 57km
It was a cold night and a cold morning. It was very easy to stay just a bit longer in the sleeping bag. However the sky was mostly clear, and the sun started warming things up.
I got going at 9am, and headed down the Rattler rail trail. It was a great 20km ride to Riverton. The sun was out the wind was mild, the hills were moderate. I stopped for supplies and a pastie in Riverton, then headed south out of town. I was a bit reticent getting back on the dirt roads of the Mawson trail. I was a bit fearful of finding mud again. However it was mostly dried out. I skipped a couple of sections that looked dodgy. The roads were pretty devoid of vehicles. I eventually came out on the Tarlee to Kapunda bitumen road, and it was a mostly downhill ride into Kapunda, where I arrived just after 4pm.
