A few riders elected to stay at the local accomodation in Nannup last night. Some at the pub and some at the blue house b&b. Rave reviews about the blue house.
Fresh this morning but off at nine as 2 groups. Front group pushed hard and arrived in Donnybrook at the bakery for a hot pie and choc milk just after 1pm having covered 72 km. Boring ride with the first 27 km following the rail trail with a six inch wide sweet spot so had to focus and then mainly badly corrugated dirt roads after that. I found it hard going but we were really moving today with an average speed of 19km/hr. Sweet drafting oter riders in the forest. Nothing much else to share today.
Set up camp showered and settled by 2pm and just enjoying a nice cold pale ale thanks to little creatures. Strava doesnt seem to want to play so i dont have the track today but have uploaded Stuarts. Think i killed it.
Had a look at my bike as it wasnt sounding right when we arrived and found the bottom bracket bearing was shot so i had to make a quick dash to collie for a new one. All fixed and good to go. Wow what a great shop crankincycles in collie has everything and more. Dangerous though saw a nice 29 r bmc dually frame mmmmmn, but i resisted the temptation. That will make my wife happy.
A hot chicken curry and now a bit of blogging and that the day. Tomorrow looks like lots of climbing so need to sleep today off.
