I happened to catch the red light at the crossing where Canning Highway traffic exits over the Causeway. So I used the opportunity to count the cars with more than a driver. Of 34 cars I counted only three with a passenger. That is even worse than usual which, on the Kwinana Freeway PSP in the evenings is about 1 in 5 cars.

Will see if the 5000k durano plus holds air overnight, if not, in the bin it goes

I intended to catch the fine break after the front ~5pm, instead 90min later on the road and caught a new front for 3/4 of the trip home.
The buses were opposite the PSP this time.
My In-laws happened to be heading to our place after dinner in Leederville and saw me at this same PSP spot, they enjoyed some 'bit wet out there?' 'didn't see anyone else cycling' chuckles to themselves and mentioned it poured all the way home as I was no doubt aware, before a redeeming mention they had a rum and raisin choc bomb for me from Luna and a big duty free Toblerone found lost/forgotten from their last holiday, so I wasn't so mute after a hot shower.
I even had my first Brooks saddle arrive today to test out, but I wasn't game to fit it prematurely, and fortunately put the box in a plastic bag to strap it to the bike.

Hi Red Rider, thanks for the reminder of the Milligan St overpass diversion. If we then align your GPS Map with the official Rail outage map, there is some overlap and looks like the diversion comes out right in the middle of the Roe St closure section:Red Rider wrote:Not sure if this has been reported, part of the Milligan St train line overpass has been diverted to on top of the Freo line tunnel roof, exiting at Chinatown on Roe St. Here is my GPS route of it:
Please also remember that this time, it is no longer school holidays, so there will be additional people impacted by this week's outage.
And there is also the closure on Loftus St which if you are not a regular commuter, you may not be aware of. Loftus St/Railway St is also where all the train replacement buses turn down from Leederville, so another hot spot.
At least it is only 4.5 days this time, of which 2 days are the week-end .

If they are going to park this thing here, hopefully they will report the hole in the PSP .
