A most excellent ride from Mojos to Bindoon, with so many corners we almost ran out of corner markers !
I think everyone had at least 4 turns at being marker.
Astro Rob must have spent quite a time mapping this one out, with hundreds of sweepers, tight bends, zigzagging, and roller coasters.
I left the group at Bindoon, to head home, as they continued on to Gingin.
Thanks Rob, videos to follow

The promise of warm weather and an advertised Astro led ride resulted in 9 riders at Gloria Jeans and another 9 riders at Mojos. A record for Thursday rides, so we must encourage Astro and “ Others “ to lead us into the unknown
With only Bozo not joining us for the ride a record of 17 followed Astro west along GEH to John Forrest NP and through Parkerville to the much enjoyed O’Brien Rd. Astro maintained a steady pace with no stoppages and consistent corner marking resulted in no lost souls.
A leftie had us onto Lancewood and a spirited descent through Brigadoon led us via a couple of convulsions to Bullsbrook and the curvy hilly South Chittering followed by the excellent flowing bends of the Chittering Valley - sublime
We bypassed Bindoon up in the hills and headed in another convolution to Gingin.
Unfortunately we met a police car travelling in the opposite direction who pinged Grant for speeding. From my memory this is the first time on rides that I have attended that this has occurred. It had to happen sometime
Great lunch and chat at Gingin CU @ Park Café. The group split after lunch with some heading back via the Brand and the majority following Astro to Military Rd and Indian Ocean Drive.
So 320klms, maximum of 34 degrees and a great lead by Astro and excellent corner marking by all to keep the ride flowing in safety and without any hiccups. So easy for the TEC - bliss
