Sad to leave Mission we headed back up the hill to the Highway and continued north to Innisfail. We lost Jodie off the bike today, with pain and numbness in her forearms and hands from the previous day not subsiding Jodie decided it best to give them a rest and see a Physio in Innisfail. The highway was rough riding and we made good time as we headed through the cane fields. We arrived at Innisfail McDonald’s were we were greeted by Keith and Chris Vincent and we all tucked into some burgers. Next stop was the Good Counsel Primary School. The riders received a ‘rock star’ cheer from the kids as they rode into the hall. Once again Scott and Mike did their talks to the school on bike safety and RMHC. With this the last school we were to visit on this year’s ride we then all assembled to say goodbye to Helen. It was a shame to lose Helen as she was riding so well, but her timing was impeccable as tomorrow is the hill climb to Atherton and there were a few others thinking it would be a good time to leave as well.
