WA Riders

[Rorschach]

Hi All

Trying to kick off a (new) thread for those of us living in the Democratic Peoples Republic of Western Australia for a bit of chat around places to ride and maybe tee up a group outing

Roll Call:
@Rorschach
@ashes_mtb
@ausdb
@downunderdallas
@discofrank
@wesdadude
@craftyvet
@fastrider gus
(will add more as they come up, tag people in!)

 

[ausdb]

Happy to catch up for a ride some time, my skill level is about zero tho. Other West Aussies I know of
@downunderdallas
@discofrank

Is @hellmansam in WA or he used to be as he seemed to have some local knowledge.

Skill level also zero, very much all-the-gear-no-idea!

G’day I’m based in Bunbury

 

[hellmansam]

I’m interested in meeting up for a ride sometime, am 50yo with some skills and not much fitness

 

[ashes_mtb]

Great idea!

 

[wesdadude]

I'm from Perth.

 

[downunderdallas]

Just need to turn down the blowtorch from those Easterlies!

 

[discofrank]

currently only able to ride footpaths atm, as still recovering from shoulder surgery

So where do all our WA contingent ride normally?

I’m mostly night riding at Kalamunda, but occasionally get to Goat Farm and Jarrahdale.

Have a Dunsborough holiday booked for April so looking forward to checking those trails out. Might even take the young fella for his first night ride.

Goat Farm, Kalamunda/Valley, Dwellingup - down south when I can - Pemberton was running awesome after a 3 Chillies refresh late last year, Margs seems to always have work done and again was running pretty sweet when I last rode it. Hanging for Nannup that looks awesome, although some of it looks pretty huge!

 

[hellmansam]

Mt Lennard (Pile Rd) is my local trails, I like Murray Valley and Linga Longa but have to rebuild some fitness.
I might get to Kalamunda a bit now that I’m not doing FIFO.

 

[Rorschach]

Almost exclusively Kalamunda myself, mainly due to time constraints with young kids. Normally out for 630ish and back on the road about 8
Go to Duns pretty often as we have access to a place down there so thinking of taking my bike down

My fitness is shot at the minute, not getting out nearly as much as I want to.

 

[wesdadude]

My bike lives at my folks' in Kalamunda. I haven't been out for a while but my last rides were along the new single-track near the Railway Heritage Trail. I haven't traveled to ride in ages, I don't want to contend with shoving a bike into a hatchback.

thats taken a back seat to the transition sentinal! the tranny rides better , shifting is still fucking shit ( full XT groupset ) i really need to bring the zerode back to a 160mm bike not a 140

 

[ashes_mtb]

Nice to see some publicity for the best state, even if no one is allowed over here to ride.

It's great because it's a short pedal away but I don't think it's worth travelling for. There's some small features in some places and enough paths that I usually end up on a different trail when I hit Pickering Brook.
