Fantastic 44km ride through the Karridale Forrests with mixture of gravel road, single track and old rail formation. Lazy 9am start after cooked breakfast at the Naughty Noodle with a young country girl, Hayley from Ravensthorpe who was doing the Bib track. Arrived around 2pm after 3:15 riding time averaging 13.7kph. The last section up to the Gloucester Tree was a 3km series of switchbacks going up 100m in elevation and we were both relieved to get to the top. Along the way we came along a very old bridge at River Road with some good camping spots. The old timber bridge was only for ped traffic and even bike riders had to dismount although I do know of one rider ( whom I can't name for legal reasons) who rode over it- see photo's. All in all great riding weather and good day passing 400km milestone. Dinner at Pemby pub with pork roast and a 2-1 pool win to Gary courtesy of Lloyd sinking the black ball in the wrong pocket. That's 3 up to date.Leggi altro
