At about 23km, I started feeling hungry, very unusual for me. I might be burning more calories this morning due to the cold air and hills. But only 10km to the town, I resisted taking a bite until I reach there. BOOM! Yet another GREAT mistake! My hunger quickly progressed into gastric pain. By then, it was too late, a couple of snack bars did nothing to relieve the pain. Riding the final 5km into Ravensthorpe with this pain was awfully difficult.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1542\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1542\" style=\"width: 512px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/melvynyap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/IMG_5959.jpg?resize=512%2C341\" alt=\"\" title=\"IMG_5959\" width=\"512\" height=\"341\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1542\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1542\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Thank you for making my ride even more awful than it needs to be<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>After an insane steep climb, I reached Ravensthorpe.

After resting for about 1.5 hours at this town, the pain gradually disappeared and I was back on the road. Almost midday now and I still have more than 100km to absorb before reaching my destination, Jerramungup.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1543\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1543\" style=\"width: 512px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/melvynyap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/IMG_5963.jpg?resize=512%2C341\" alt=\"\" title=\"IMG_5963\" width=\"512\" height=\"341\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1543\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1543\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Turns out all I need to treat my tummy ache was a warm mushroom beef pie<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1544\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1544\" style=\"width: 512px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/melvynyap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/IMG_5964.jpg?resize=512%2C341\" alt=\"\" title=\"IMG_5964\" width=\"512\" height=\"341\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1544\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1544\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">and a bit of Lindt chocolates<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1545\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1545\" style=\"width: 512px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/melvynyap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/IMG_5966.jpg?resize=512%2C341\" alt=\"\" title=\"IMG_5966\" width=\"512\" height=\"341\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1545\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1545\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">and some strawberry flavoured milk<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The remaining journey to Jerramungup wasn&#8217;t particularly eventful. Perhaps I was too focused on trying to reach the next town before dark. At about 10km to Jerramungup, the sun went completely out of sight. Only the moonlight dimly lit my path. Tall trees lined both sides of the road and their large shadows forms an interesting silhouette on the road. The tailwind remained strong, so all I hear was the rustling of the tree leaves. Even though this is a highway, the traffic was incredibly light. I would be lying if I say riding in this condition wasn&#8217;t eerie.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1546\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1546\" style=\"width: 512px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/melvynyap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/IMG_5969.jpg?resize=512%2C341\" alt=\"\" title=\"IMG_5969\" width=\"512\" height=\"341\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1546\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1546\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Almost halfway to Albany!
