No rain, trucks at night and into North Haven

Day 2 started off nice and sunny from Morriset and we followed the side roads quickly towards Hexham. I have been promoted up a group and have found a group which is tightly run and works really well together. Its just like being in the tour, when we get a flat we dont stop to fix it we just wait on the side of the road and then we change wheels.

At our first stop Michelle asked how it was and I said its good and she could easily ride in this pack. So after Morning tea we had a new member in our team and we ate up the miles to lunch at Karuah. I unfortunately got a flat 50 metres beofre we rolled into town and fixed it quickly whilst we had lunch. It was quite nice sitting beside the river and relaxing. Back out onto the highway we were able to pick up the speed a bit all the way to Buladelah, or as Craig and I have coined it, to make it try and sound a bit more luxurious (cos the campground was a bit dodgy) Bula-da-lar Springs country estate. Seriously it sounded like the trucks going past on the highway were going to run right over our tents.

It was a funny night at dinner, and another great feed (have to keep our energy up for each days ride).

It was good to hear a few stories about Ironman and everyone has done really well. Good job Coffs guys!!!!

Rolled out of town about 8am and because the road was so good we were able to hold a good speed. Our pack works really well together and we can hold a nice tight line and we ended up passing a few of the other packs on the highway. I have quickly gained the rep of mr nice guy cos I have helped a few of the girls up the hills so we can stay together and maintain our speed. (Jenny you know what I'm talking 'bout!)

After lunch and into Kew once we turned off the highway it was basically a free for all and a sprint into North Haven. A couple got a way from me but i was able to catch them back up and we held about 45km/h all the way to the pitstop at end of day.

Great campground, nice and dry and lots of green grass and we have been able to dry our tents out and relax before dinner. We got here just before 2pm. Check out the pics, all good campgrounds should have a trampoline like this one.

375km down and three days of good riding, legs are still feeling unreal!!!
