What!!!!!  Well here’s the thing.  The Queen’s Birthday long weekend is two weeks after the On Your Bike tour and we figured it is too close to have a weekend away because of it.  So we are going to have a long days ride as a tour and we can all rest up on the Monday public holiday.

Meeting at the Mandurah TS at 8.15 am for a 8.30 am start, we head off in a clockwise direction, east, through flat farming country side on back roads to Pinjarra where we will have an enjoyable morning tea at that quirky tea room which we affectionately call Patrick’s cafe (because Patrick found it).  Purchasing our lunches from the world famous Pinjarra Bakery to have on the road, we head southish again along quiet back roads where we will scoff down our lunch at the road side rest stop on the Forrest Highway.  From here we wrap around the bottom of the Harvey Estuary heading north and getting onto the very scenic Estuary Road, one of the most beautiful quiet cycle touring roads, and stopping at the Leprechaun General Store Cafe for afternoon tea.  Finishing off, we continue over the Dawesville Cut and get onto the scenic coastal roads and back at the Mandurah TS where the tour will end.

This ride will be conducted as a tour, at touring pace.  However there will the opportunity for the hoons of the club to ‘open up’ on some of the sections.
