Thanks to Winston66, West Aussie Glen, Blackduck, and Excopper for a great weekend.
Left home at 9:30 and met up with Blackduck at 10:06 at just north of Carramar. I had 3 other family members with me as well as they are doing a run next weekend south and just wanted a quick refresher run on the bikes before then. One was a learner and another has confidence issues so about 10:20 we embarked on a slow stroll up as far as Gingin Brook Road.
Waved goodbye to them and then it was time to get moving.
Arrived in Jurien Bay at 12:30 and was going to drop gear off until we saw Winston already at the pub so a quick U-Turn and it was beer o'clock :-)
Met Rob and his new friend Doug and had a pleasant chat for an hour until the tummys told us it was lunch time.
Back on the bikes around the corner to the local Bakery and full stomachs later it was Goodbye to Rob followed a short time later by Doug and then off to the house.
Change of clothes and then a sit around on the couch chatting for a while until Glen rocks on in.
Bit more talking and then a walk back to the pub / tavern for dinner. I think everyone enjoyed to food even though mine took a little while to get out to me.
A stroll back to the house via the servo for some nibbles and drinks and then more chatting until we headed to bed.
Before bed we decided to take a look at the World Wind map that someone put up on here to try and gauge the weather for today and decided on an early start.
I set the alarm for 7:30 and around 6:30 heard people up and about so got up as well. A cuppa later and many tries of hot water (to no avail) we decided to just head off.
Left Jurien Bay around 8am. Had a nice run apart from some really gusty winds right up to the point where we started to get back in to civilization. From there the heavens opened and in moments I was drenched. I neglected to look at the weather before i left home so I only had mesh jacket and normal kevlar pants on. Needless to say it was a very cold 1/2hour ride from there to home.
I was back at the same servo I filled up at yesterday exactly 24.5 hours later (10am).
Total distance for me was 452km and used 25.5L of 91 so I am happy enough with that. Spent the afternoon watching movies on the couch with the family
Once again a big thanks to all who attended and once I find out how the hot water works, if happy then will do again some time.
