Had a good rest day. Up at 7.30am for breaky before getting into the blog. It was great to get early text messages from my kids - Peter (26) and Kathryn (24) - wishing me a happy Father's Day. This was followed up later by an email from my other son Michael (21), who is on the Christian mission ship OM Logos Hope, which is in the Caribean.
At 11am we attended the Church service at the Uniting Church. This was a great little service - I think we doubled the size of the congregation! Mark and Luke spoke about Bike for Bibles, which was well received by the locals. The Church then put on a fantastic luncheon, which included a cake made by some of the kids with Bike for Bibles and our individual names on it.
After lunch we worked on our bikes - cleaning the chain etc. Mark had recently brought a toothbrush for 'Milton', and proceeded to clean his chain. My wife Veronica subsequently in a phone call asked Mark if he also flossed Milton's chain!
Mark and I had a look around Burra and visited some second book shops - boy, if we had more space in our bags, there would have been some purchases. I also called my Dad for Father's Day in the local phone box.
We had our evening meal at the local pub which was very filling.
Early to bed for our 121km ride to Waikerie tomorrow and the start of another week in the saddle.
