Mandurah to Fremantle. Which way would you go?
Postby Tornado » Sat Apr 06, 2013 11:36 am
On the weekends I occasionally do the PSP from Mandurah to Perth and train it back. I'm considering doing Mandurah to Freo tomorrow to mix it up a bit. If you were doing it which way would you go? Are there some good routes I should know about or have been missing out on? I was thinking of up the Kwinana PSP for a bit and cutting across, but maybe hugging the coast is an option. Not sure so I thought I would ask the brains trust that is BNA.

+1. A lot more scenic and casual than the PSP. No cars on the freeway to 'chaperone' you any more.Bakks wrote:Up the PSP to Applecross then follow the river to Fremantle.
Unless time is of the essence its enjoyable exploring. One or two small climbs... I'd tell you how to avoid them, but I usually seek them out myself these days

The main bike path anyway. Officially shared with walkers, joggers etc. Illegally shared at times with dirt bikes, scooters, golf carts et cetera

This is the course I did on Melbourne Cup day last year :

Coastal path around Warnbro is slow and windy, but well worth it for the amazing views and something different.
Roads from Rockingham to Freo have a bike/emergency shoulder just about the whole way, so it's as safe as you can get.
