Day 7 hut to northcliff

Great to see nathan back on the track. Some good single track past the borora tree familiar territory for me being a stopping point for the karri cup mtb race in march. No mishaps no dramas. A little bit of rain to start but that cleared to again give us great riding weather.
Awesome farmer from canterbury cottage bed and breakfast is right on the track about 20 km from northcliff and not far from the barrora tree. He had set up chairs coffee and tea and scones for us in the middle of nowhere. See photo A much welcomed break and much appreciated.

Geocache was found at the borroa tree and we placed another goecache. Oh. I havnt said much about this yet. Geocaching is where you set up little treasures or trinkets for want of a better word of little monitary value and log the gps coordinates on the internet for others to find on their journies. Its best to put them in places difficult to get to. We each have one with our names engraved on the container to place during our journey. We have been putting down about 2 per day on our journey. My turn tomorrow. The gps found one set by others by the borora tree. Dave scored some small plastic animals and replaced it with something else.

Great track today through karrie jarrah and marrie forrest some really big trees. About 15 km from town ron the ride leader let us loose as the track which was fairly straight forward. A pack at the front pushed hard to motor to northcliff at a very fast pace to get the tents pitched and washing started before the others arrived. Ill have to check the pace on strava.

At round tu it caravan park just after lunch so we made good time and have been able to do some washing and dry some clothes and also pitch the tents and allow then to dry for a change. Also gave us some time to relax. Much needed by many and we are looking forward to the rest day tomorrow at pemberton.

Kay was trying to figure out why her jeans wouldnt stay up. I think few might have lost some kilos this week . Wow its gone so quick and we have been so pushed for time it has gone very quickly. Riding all day set up tents getting organised and bike maintenance and then functions in town. Yet there is still a long way to go. With the tachos showing around 350 km to date.

Into town and a function put on by te northcliff visitors centre. We walked around the sculptures exhibition well worth seeing and then a bbq to feed to hunger pains from another days ride.
