Carinyah Hut

Super effort from Lloydy today- he not only had his big boy pants on but he forgoed his trainers as well. Lloyds crank bearings are absolutely wrecked and does not free wheel at all requiring extra effort just to pedal. He kept on muttering " i wish I'd bought the Vaseline that's twice i could have used it!" Thankfully the 55kms was relatively firm going and despite a few hills was generally rideable with ride time of 4hrs 20 minutes- arriving at the hut at 3pm. We had a good sleep at the Cottage in Jarrahdale as a result of a good feed and some special sleeping medicine administered by the publican at the Jarrahdale pub. Grabbed a couple of fresh rolls and the biggest cup of coffee I have ever seen- you could run a barramundi hatchery in the mugs! Nothing much to see along the way we crossed the upper reaches of the Canning River and not surprisingly there was no water and crossed both Albany Hwy near Glendale and Brookton Hwy causing Lloyd to once again sing the virtues of the good work Main Roads does in bringing the communities together. Anyhow I didn't think we were going to make it today so happy to spend our last night out having just clicked over 1000kms and only the last 42kms into Mundaring to go.Read more
