Day 3, after passing the salt lakes, looks like it heads up K1 -in the Swale, northerly, so with any luck a tail wind to push you home...while a long day, could be fast! If there is a head wind across the salt lakes - better pair up and ride peloton!!!
Riding north to the lone gum last year was a really enjoyable ride, if you like hot and sandy! (Jokes aside, it was a really good day.)

This years race looks like it might take in Poeppel Corner and does Big and Little Red... Great landmarks!
