kapunda to cornvale

Posted on Friday, May 07, 2010 at 7:30 PM by dyon

this morning we woke to clear skies and a relatively warm day. after the usual 2 hour breakfast and pack up routine we were back on the road. we've decided to just do three 30km days and take it slowly on the way to clare.

we appear to have left most of the vineyards behind and have moved into drier sheep country.

after about 15km of rolling hills we stopped for first lunch and met 4 riders coming from the opposite direction. the first cyclists we've seen on the mawson trail! they had left blinman two weeks ago but are travelling light (no food, camping gear or extra children). they were all mostly on bling dual suspension MTBs so made us feel quite slow. it was nice to get some info on the roads ahead and to actually see some other riders out here.

they warned us to avoid a section of singletrack that they said would be difficult with the trailer but we ended up riding it anyway (though the rocks did wake kai up) and camping by the track in a quiet valley near a farm called cornvale.
