Our short 47km cycle from McLaren Vale to Strathalbyn was through Australian wine country. The scenery was outstanding, the weather was great and it would have been an absolute pleasure apart from the hills and nearly 2,000 feet of climbing. We tackled our steepest hill of the trip with a 12% grade. What does 13% mean? It means really sore legs.
Along the way we came across something that was really quite concerning. Someone appears to have been doing some genetic experiments and created long necked sheep, probably to allow them to graze in bushes and trees. They appeared happy enough and I suppose the long neck maximises the amount of wool per sheep. That’s progress I suppose.
