Very lazy morning – it’s only 30Km back to Mudgee, so we are taking our sweet time to do everything. Breakfast delivered to the room at 8.30, delicious poached eggs, bacon, and toast.
Checkout out of the hotel at around 9.30am and started our way back to the starting point.
Even though I am not a fan of going back from where you originally started, heading to the starting town at the end of the ride was a lovely experience, reminiscing of the wonderful ride and experiences in the last 7 days.
Got to Mudgee shortly before noon. Garry and Charlie welcomed us home and made ourselves as such…lazy day at the garden reading and drinking our leftover wine from the night before.
Had the opportunity to go into town and walk around Mudgee, which hands down is the most picturesque town with lots of cafes and pubs, even their own brewery where we enjoyed two of their fine ales.
Decided to have a home-cooked meal and bought scotch filets, made mash and salad and had diner at the patio table while it started to gently rain. We were very lucky in terms of weather – it rained the day before the ride started and the day the ride ended, but we never got wet (not that it would’ve mattered much).
Anyhow, lovely ride and towns, am sure we will be back someday, maybe doing the ride clockwise this time around, and hopefully being able to spend the night at the pub in Baltimore – maybe camping? Who knows!
