WA Day Long Weekend Tour at Dwellingup

Saturday June 3, 2017 - Monday June 5, 2017

: , , ,

Leader: Kleber

Phone: 9354 7877

What better way to celebrate our States Day than a long weekend cycling in Dwellingup, surrounded by the beautiful state forest.

We will be staying at the Dare Adventures camp site, 1.5km from Dwellingup. There are a number of options available, touring bikes starting and finishing at Mandurah train station, driving to Dwellingup with your mountain bike to ride the many trails in the area, or driving to Dwellingup with your non cycling partner and have a walk on the Bibbulmun Track or visit the many other attractions close to town. Stan is going to take advantage of the large sports oval and will be bringing his Eagles gear, i.e. underpants, shorts, shirt, boots, footy, etc.

Accommodation: We have booked the self – contained cottage which sleeps 15 in bunk beds. If there is a good response, we have an option of another cottage.

The kitchen is fully equipped with pots/pans, cutlery, crockery, fridge/freezer, oven, microwave etc. Covered mattresses are supplied with the beds. You will need to supply bed linen, (sleeping bag and liner will be okay), pillow, (inflatable will be okay), toiletries, towel and tea towel.

Food: BBQ’s are available, so, maybe bring some frozen meat for Saturday night. If you need to supplement what food you can bring with you, the local IGA is open 7 days for supplies. Sunday night we could all enjoy a few drinks and a counter meal at the Dwellingup Hotel.

Costs: If we are able to fill the cottage, the charge will be $34 for the two nights. If the numbers attending are down, the cost will be slightly more. I will inform you of the final cost closer to the date.

Confirmation: Since the accommodation is limited, please confirm your booking early to avoid disappointment. Also, let me know if you will be on touring bikes starting from Mandurah or driving to Dwellingup.

Saturday, 3 June 2017.

9.00am for 9.15am start.

54 km, leisurely pace, hilly.

Meet at Mandurah train station. After handing out information and collecting money, we work our way out of Mandurah and head East on Lakes Road. A break for morning tea at North Dandalup before we attack the hills on Del Park Road. A well earned rest and lunch at the Blue Wren Cafe, before buying some provisions at the IGA. Then only 1.5 km to a nice hot shower and relax with a cold drink before the BBQ Master Chefs show us their talents. The mountain bikers might like to go for a short burst on the trails close to camp.

Sunday, 4 June 2017.

Depending how you feel after Saturday, the touring bikes can have a short ride of 32 km to Nanga Mill and return, or an 80 km loop on quiet back roads for lunch at Pinjarra. The Bush Bashers have plenty of distance and difficulty options. Namely, the Munda Biddi Trail, Nanga Pool, Marrinup Trail or the Turner Hill Trail.

After a hot shower it will be good to hear about the days adventures over a cold beer and dinner at the Dwellingup Hotel.

Monday, 5 June 2017.

We will start when Stan has finished packing his Eagles gear.

54 km, leisurely pace, down hill.

The return to Mandurah will be via the steep down hill on North Spur Road to Pinjarra for morning tea. Then North West on Patterson Road to Lakes Road and onto the train for the trip home.
