Today was the biggest day to date for Mitch and Josh. They set out with a lofty goal of riding a touch over 90 mile/145km. Looking briefly at the map last night, they decided there weren't going to be many places to stay or refuel. Alas, it was time to go big.
They encountered their first flat tyre of the trip. Unfortunately, Mitch rode over an extremely fine piece of steel and it went straight through his tube.
It was Amy & Ron, two local cyclists that came to the rescue. Both being well versed in bike repair, cycling and replacing tubes, they were able to help the boys and get Mitch back rolling again in no time. After this, the boys pushed on for another 100km. The route was noticeably undulating compared to the first two days. Big hills had their legs burning.
