Managed to get out to John Forrest National Park and have another go at the Noolbenger trails. GPS said 28km, but my last 2 rides have been 23ish so missing 5km somewhere!
Windy as hell - the 2km ride to the trail along the rail trail was shit and took up more battery than it needed to!
But, I was out, I barely saw anyone else, and the sun was shining. I was happy.
The trail desperately needs some rain though, so many exposed rocks and everything was really dusty. Lots of braking bumps and rutted out bits of the trail coming off both sides of the ridge.
Downside: I've lost a few kgs so shorts kept slipping down and hence spend more money on gear…
