F2-Day 6: Kingston S.E. to Meningie

Possibly THE most boring day on the bike EVA! I don't think there was one intersection, turn, change in direction, hill or descent between leaving Kingston SE and getting to within 2 streets of the caravan park at Meningie. Basically we broke into groups from the get go and our mob rode 10km turns on the front in 2 by 2 formation for 145kms.

So what I can tell you is this:

1. There's a freakin' MASSIVE lobster at Kingston SE...


2. Salt Creek has a servo with German back-packers serving OK coffee and toasted sambos, and contains some "interesting" hunting and fishing photos, magazines and signage.




3. AZed looks awesome in a pair of antlers. (BTW: who wouldn't mix Jim Beam, cross bows, rifles, fishing rods and People magazine?)

4. When you type Meningie into your phone it tries to auto-correct to: Meningitis - you be the judge.

5. I had 2 views today:
a. Ray's butt...

b. ...and the long, straight, flat, boring road ahead...

6. Mitchie and I are so strong on the front and if you watch the video below - you'll see us in the wind, dragging the front group the last 22k into town and then Mitch leading me out for a 60km/h sprint kick for me to take the town limit. No biggie.



7. Meningie Hotel does a magnificent American Chicken Schnitie.

See the ride here and the video here!
Last day tomorrow...Adelaide here we come.
