This being the first proper post on here i will try and do a decent job.
It was my birthday last Monday so my wife Fiona and I thought it would be nice to have a day out on the bike and hopefully do a bit off the black stuff.
So Monday morning started off grey to "i don't want to get out of bed weather".
So with a little effort we where up and on our way out of town done the least boring and tedious highway, down the Leach Highway we stopped to get ourselves some new water proofs(this proved to be a great decision).
2km away from Rays Outdoor shop the heavens opened! And boy did they open, i have two descriptions for the rain 1. a giant waterfall 2. Riding in a giant washing machine. Thankfully the Duck coped perfectly and the waterproofs did there job.
After the boating trip up the Roe highway then a quick stop at the Honda shop to look at VTR's for Fiona. Off came the waterproofs and up the Great Northern Hwy to lunch at Feral Brewing Company, the food and beer was pretty special if your passing through the swan valley this place should be very high on your list!
After lunch a quick look round Bells Rapids not looking very Rapid at this time of year.
After getting lost in a housing development for 20mins we where back on the highway until Bullsbrook, then east on Chittering Valley road and onto Keating Rd and finally off the black stuff and a chance to ride some gravel, 20Km of fun towards Toodyay.
Me and the Duck.
Toodyay for a coke at the coke Museum?
Nice place Toodyay.
Then just a nice run home, a very nice way to spend my birthday and Fiona also had fun on the back.
