Today was an opportunity to cycle the local sights before the wind picked up, with 70kms gust forecast for tomorrow. We took our time getting started, enjoying some more of the Top Shed sourdough toasted - this time with Vegemite, thoughtfully provided by our Airbnb hostess.

Another early start so we could cover the 75kms to Albany - our final day on the trail. It was cool and slightly overcast with light winds - perfect cycling weather. We retraced our route back into Denmark even though Jonathan had shown us another faster route but it was much steeper so we decided

An early start for our 62km ride to Denmark on a mix of road, rail trail, Munda Biddi and the Wilderness Ocean Walk (WOW) trail. We cycled the couple of kms to the highway and enjoyed the quiet road, making quick time. We crossed the Kent River and a little later took the turnoff to the Nornalup Heritage

It was a beautiful sunny day when we woke at 6am ready for a big day of cycling and sightseeing. By the time we left at 7:30 the clouds had started to roll in, though the sun was still shining. We bid farewell to the alpacas that we had not met on our arrival and headed down the steep path to pick

We had calculated the day at 74kms - predominantly on dirt, so wanted to make an early start. It was just after 7:30 when we were packed and ready to go. The owner of the AirBnb came out to check we had a good night and seek our thoughts on the room, and was definitely in for a chat. Simon was happy

We took our time leaving, enjoying an extra slice of toast and homemade raspberry jam. Turtle found his new home in Simon’s handlebar bag. We detoured via the bakery to pick up some chicken and salad bread rolls for lunch as well as a treat for morning tea.
