Middleton to rest area at relics of Hamilton Hotel 112km

Left Middleton before 8 for some nice riding in some cool air over some plains and rocky hills to admire. At about 45km for the day I entered agape a range of beautiful orange hills made up of coloured powder and pebbles pressed into ledges and blocks. Some stretches of red gravel smeared across the sides of the road, with an orange gravel road all made a stunning sight.

After this range came an almost treeless yellow plain of the Mitchell Grass, broken by a string of trees at a creek sometimes. A major tailwind shuttled the bike along on a fantastic day of riding.

Another bonus, the ancient bore water at this rest area, pumped by a clattering windmill, tastes superb with no after taste at all!
