Scarp Zig Zag to the Ferguson Valley
Posted: Sun 12 Jul, 2015 3:37 pm
Four riders took advantage of the brilliant weather to weave their way through the verdant valleys of the Darling Scarp to the Ferguson Valley. Wes, Wightman, Bill + Trish and Bozo avoided the plethora of week end cyclists by heading straight down Tonkin Highway to Byford.
Del Park Road, Dwellingup-Pinjarra Road and East Coolup Road were the highlights of the trip to Waroona for the mandatory munch stop for morning tea. Coffee and pies all round with a pedantic pie discussion about the expected diameter of a Great Australian Bite.
At Wokalup the group deviated to the Mornington Mills Road and then took advantage of the recently sealed Martin Road to weave through the scarp to return to the South West Highway near Brunswick Junction. At Burekup there was another deviation to ascend the scarp at Henty Road and then a descent on Pile Road into the Ferguson Valley.
At this point Bozo bailed to return for a key meeting in Perth.
Fantastic Day for a rip through the hills....no cyclists or insects. Good to see Wightman waving the Aussie Flag decorated BMW and for Wes to remove a few more sprues from the new front tyre.
