Plan is to meet up in Norseman, he is doing a different initial route to me. I should beat him to Norseman and have a rest day or 2.Marty Moose wrote:You going with Pawl? ??

Hopefully you're not thinking of doing that track from Hyden to Norseman, bit rough and not really an official road. I broke a bike frame out there years back, ran out of water in similar weather to now as the terrain was so tough, it was a hard slog.Baalzamon wrote:I've got great weather sending me on my tour.... to Corrigin and maybe Hyden

It is a gazetted road and has been for years. I do agree that the Shire of Kondinin does not do a great job of their section but the rest is good condition and is great riding. So in effect there is about 21 km of 297 km that is rough road.just4tehhalibut wrote:Hopefully you're not thinking of doing that track from Hyden to Norseman, bit rough and not really an official road.

Myself, Cavebear, Mike and Baalzamon rode it last year in April as part of our ride from Esperance back to Perth. I wouldn't hestitate to go back and ride it again and do plan in the future to ride in the area, taking on the Holland Track.
These photos was taken on the rough section in the Shire of Kondinin
and these photos are from the Shire of Dundas side, the good side.
and the boy himself
Even a close up of the road surface
Enjoy your ride Stuart and all the best.

Last time I was there I was carrying 16L. This time I'm carrying 14L as I can most likely get water from the mines, or from McDermond rock which has water on it.just4tehhalibut wrote:Hopefully you're not thinking of doing that track from Hyden to Norseman, bit rough and not really an official road.

Will be quite hard to brake a Thorn Nomad Raven bike.

Yep. Dry cycling for the past week on the Bianchi but looks like I'll be back on the Apollo tomorrow for a wet spin. It's only water

I know, about 6 weeks in spring and autumn and Perth beats anywhere hands down.

30 km commute this morning. Rained from start to finish along with some heavy periods when on the coast. The joys of commuting

I rode to work at 4am this morning and it was a little chilly but not too bad. Considering I was wearing shorts, t-shirt and thin tracksuit jacket it was pretty good. My hands were a tad cool though. And yes, this afternoon was/is glorious (except for the puncture waiting for me when I came out of work )suff wrote:maybe I am just getting old, but it was bl00dy cold this morning on the way into work!
