Final Fling

We leave the west next week. Time is passing quickly to get everything that needs doing, done. So a final fling with my best mate Frank down Margaret River way for some mountain biking and surfing was quickly organised with the blessing of the wonderful Em.

And what a couple of days it was! We got to Dunsborough at about 11am for a spin around the single track  north of there- pretty technical, slippery and fun. Then we were invited to an old friends place for a lovely lunch and catch up. At 2 pm we met Paul near Margarets, who was to guide us through some of the best single track I have enjoyed- ever! With the beautiful landscape, grippy surface, friendly locals and amazing trails, it was 3 hours I will not be forgetting in a hurry! The post ride beer at Paul's place was a real treat as well.

We then headed further south to meet up with Dan and Alex, who live in a straw bale house. We were treated to a great meal, great company and great beer from Dan, who is a local winemaker- Gold!

Woke up early on the Tuesday for a nice breakfast and then went surfing. Checked out Ellenbrook and the devastation from the recent fires and then hit a break close to Lefthanders. Not huge and pretty crowded, but a lot of fun all the same.

Then it was back on the road, stopping off at Dunsborough for a feed and some nice coffee and then home.

An amazing couple of days with a wonderful friend, who I will miss as we journey east.

Nothing like taking a break from amazing single track to talk bikes!

Straw bale digs for the night- beautiful house in a beautiful location.

The destructive nature of fire- Ellenbrook

Lefthanders et al from the car park- good times!
