Gilgandra decision time !!

Always nice to finish the morning battle and have a cuppa and some food in the local bakery. Nice place this town .. great bakery. He are all a bit glum , not nany KM'a being put on and were starting to run out of days. Were hoping to do about 200km a day but were getting behind , some of us have to get back to work soon. Group meeting at the table , bring out the map ! Look at our options !!
Cannot go south too many roads closed , and floods still to come , that is the way we want to go , decide going north, still some raods closed. Strong X wind expected from the SE . hmmmmm... looking at th forcasts , lets go west, out of this area !
It is decided to backtrack our route and go back to Warren and Nevertire and the triangle of doom !! The afernoon is quite windy but some tail wind sweet I think... wait untill 5pm and launch .. nice tail wind for about the first 30km then it decides to go south and X wind .. shit ! Bumpy, bumpy and at Warren.. watching the floods again, the road turns south into the wind . Slow going as I watch the Sun set and crawl along the ground at 20km hr with bar on... bloody country is it ever not windy !!
End up were we started and few days earlier..... land , eat, sleep .
