GVBR day 1

Thanks Rob for dropping us of with bags and bikes before heading home.  We had a great night with Dinah and Karl,  and the last sleep in a comfortable bed for a while.
Settled into our tents (doing sleep easy this time which means someone else puts them up).  On our bikes of course for a ride around part of Lake Wendouree where there are corporate Dragon Boat races happening and I want a look at the fountain I have seen being restored on my last couple of visits. 


We head over to meet a few others at the Eureka Stockade Museum Cafe.  If you are in Ballarat I recommend you visit both, good Cafe food and coffee.
Emerged to find Lauren's flat tyre. Replaced it, pumped out up, broke the valve, flat again.  Replaced it with new tube, pumped it up and headed down to the local bike shop to replace damaged tubes.
Back to the site for a beer and dinner. The vegetarian option left a little to be desired. Boiled potatoes, boiled frozen carrots and mushrooms in sauce.  Hmmmmm. Dessert of frozen berries still frozen.  Hmmmmm again.
Cold night expected so going to bed early....  Sleep....
