Last night I had dinner at the Yarck Hotel - fancy fish and chips before collapsing in my huge bed.
This morning I had breakfast in the General Store before saying goodbye to my host Marie and setting of on another long day in the saddle.
From Yarck there is a 15Km climb to the top of Merton Gap and on the way I stopped for a snack with an interested observer. Then it was more climbing until the top. I stopped at Merton for a snack and a drink. Here I was visited by a Koala but he wouldn't stay around for a photo.
The stretch to Bonnie Doon was mainly down hill and I rode through and over Lake Eildon towards Mansfield. To my surprise I had one more appropriately named uphill drag before the last few kilometres to Mansfield.
The last section of the trail was rails and sleepers which had been covered over with gravel and leveled off. The it was Mansfield and my motel. I broke my bike down an put it in its case. I phoned Mark who will pick me up at 10.00am to take me to Melbourne Airport.
I rode 61Km today.
