Friday 2nd December
Managed to get up early and was on the road before 8am. It was another sunny day, hot without being too uncomfortable - in fact excellent cycling weather. The route involved a gradual climb for the first 7km out of York after which it remained undulating most of the day. After about 30kms I stopped top enjoy the view from Mt Observation:
After 63kms I stopped for lunch in Mundaring, a small shopping centre. Then the route went through scenic forest to Mundaring Weir:
…after which there was another long ascent:
After reaching another small village, Kalamunda, at 90kms the route began a gradual descent towards Perth. After riding through the end of the forest the city came into view, its tall buildings clearly visible in the distance:
The road then descended in a gradual zigzag which was very enjoyable riding:
…and arrived in the city centre:
I reached my hotel, close to the centre, at about 5pm:
Total distance today 131kms - total trip distance 340kms. Nice ride, I'm already looking forward to the next stage down to Albany - but first there’s a weekend in Perth to enjoy...
