Quick trip to Kalbarri 4-7 April
Posted: Tue 08 Apr, 2014 2:11 pm
Doris and myself took a break taking the GSA to Kalbarri via the Indian Ocean Drive to Geralton then on to Northampton to Horrocks, Pt Gregory and then Kalbarri.
Some of the Kalbarri dirt roads we attempted to ride on were very corrugated with soft gravel and sand and we decided that the endpoint wasn't worth wrecking the bike or Doris by continuing , so some of the tourist destinations were not explored as a result. The corrugations were so bad that Doris had a blowout with her Airhawk which resulted in a very sore bum on the 7 hour return trip. Very strong headwinds on the way back was the only complaint with a very nice ride.
Interesting also we had just sat down and were halfway into a Jurian Bay pie when Anthonys Trish arrived with her mum. She was spending time with her mum after having foot surgery.... small world!
