Really flat day today, and the rest of the trip is going to be flat and easy, really. I rode to Milang, got a nice beef, bacon, and cheese pie from their bakery and one of those iced breads. I felt pretty good so I decided here to go all the way to Murray Bridge today, which makes it a 90km day. I booked in at Murray Bridge Marina Caravan Park.
There was one little bit of highway before the turn off to Murray Bridge, Wellington Rd. There is a main turn off to Murray Bridge on Brinkley Rd and I was tempted to take it since it would be a little shorter than the side road, but after looking at it for a bit, I decided it would probably be more pleasant to ride Flagstaff road instead, especially since it was also sealed. I got passed by just one car in the 20 something kms so I think it was the right choice! This section is so flat you can see for ages into the distance and it had some great views, including a pink lake!

I decided that this caravan park would be a good spot to have a rest day to easily do some laundry so today is my rest day. I went out to town for lunch and had a parma and the most perfectly cooked, chicken-salted chips, and a milkshake, at the Steamers cafe in town. All of it was really very good, highly recommend that cafe.
I walked around a bit and had a look at the first bridge built across the Murray and the river views, then stocked up on some food.
Tomorrow has a high of 29 degrees, but the rest of the week is a toasty mid-30s, since I'm going further North, so I'm going to ride as far as I can tomorrow and hopefully do at least 100km.
