Thur Mar 5th- Drouin to Franksten – 66 mls. R/T 15, 606 mls. 31 mls to go ( final recalculation)
After a lovely sunny afternoon the weather changed last night to a very windy, cold and wet night. In the morning I packed up my soggy tent…again and set off to Franksten. I chose Franksten as it was on the coast just south of Melbourne and I can cycle up the coast road tomorrow for the final day.
They say the Melbourne area can experience 4 seasons in one day. Today started as winter – very very cold and with yet another strong headwind. Later in the morning (after I had warmed up with a coffee stop) it became autumn- cold, windy with heavy rain showers. By lunchtime it was spring like – cold and windy. At around 5pm I had reached Franksten and was still waiting for summer!!.
Franksten was further than I thought but I now have only 31 miles (no really) to reach Cathryns office and the end.
Final blog tomorrow.

Dear Jeremy,
As you start your final day, I wanted to add my congratulations on an incredible achievement – many congratulations!
I’m in St. Maarten for the regatta at the moment along with Brendan, Lois, Les (Qingdao) and Mike Lewis (Cork). We’ll raise a glass to toast you this evening.
All the very best,
Ian
Thanks Ian. Really appreciate your comment. I will probably be raising a beer or two at the same time as you. Cheers!
Well Done Jeremy
Don’t fall off now!
Neil
