Rain had been forcast for bot our days of cycling. Day one was warm and sunny, day two dawned wet. After coffee in our cafe we took the shuttle to Roxborough dam. It was grey but the rain had stopped and as soon as we set off the clouds disappeared. It was a cold wind though.
Malcolm sets off on the zig zags at the start of the trail.
Me in action with the dam behind.
The dot in the middle of this photo is me.
After about 10kms we boarded the jet boat for the next section.
The driver gave us a commentary. The cottage above was the home of a woman who collected gold from the miners and took it to be assayed.
The miners lived in caves or overhangs of rock that they walled in.
After the boat section we had a break, then continued on to Alexndra.

We had lunch at the old courthouse, then cycled beside the river to Clyde.
This 12km section was badly maintained and very rough to ride on. This photo is one of the smoother sections.
