Overcast and cool
Start time: 9:15am; arrived: 12:30pm
Despite only having 86km to travel today, we were on the road by 9:15am. First stop was in Lyndoch where we strolled through the local markets before stopping at the bakery for a treat for mornos - muffin and apple slice; coffee was made in the van. Our next stop was at the Chateau Barossa as there is a rose garden that was allegedly opened by HM the Q. Whilst it is still quite extensive, it needs quite a bit of work. We also visited the quaint gift shop.
We arrived at LeviPark Caravan Park just 6km from Adelaide, set up on site #50, had lunch, and then a little snooze. It was then back onto the bikes for a ride into the Tour Village where we had a slow wander and checked out all the bike ‘stuff’ and some very expensive bikes. Plus, the team bikes were there as well. We headed home via the city and surrounds. The Torrens bike path is still not totally operational, mainly due to recent floods, etc. The same sections were under repair when we were here last Jul!
We were home about 6pm, had our pre-dinner drinks then dinner.
