Change of Plans

Okay, so last night, when all was done and we were eating some apple strudel - yeah you read that right; we doing this in style!  Anyway, after finishing into headwind yesterday and having 'the Bom' declare them to be "Light Winds"; and thinking ahead to 240km tomorrow:

We've made the decision to drive to Burnie this morning (leaving really soon) and pedal back to Launceston.  There are a number of advantages to this; we get the benefit of any sort of wind rather than its potential hinderance; the stops work better for feeds along the way; we finish just down the road and will only spend five minutes in the bus at the end rather than two hours.

Flip the start and finish icon's - that's todays ride now!

So the route is the same, the distance is the same, the elevation is the same - we're just doing it backward to the original intention.

Sometimes life offers choice and we're exercising that choice to making things a little easier; not so much for today, but certainly for tomorrow - it's called 'forward thinking.
