Bindoon to Perth 1990
Bindoon to Perth, day 7, Sunday 4 November 1990. Left Bindoon at 7:51 on a sunny morning with a fresh south-easterly which was to turn south-westerly later in the day. There were to be significant headwinds all the way. I stopped at Chittering at 20072. The shop had no milk of any sort.
I rested again at 20090, and at 20106 where I watched two model planes being flown in a paddock. They achieved great height and speed. One kept doing the stall routine, where a plane cuts its engine, falls straight down and restarts in time to regain level flight.
At 20110 I turned onto West Swan Road and enjoyed a scenic run through the Swan Valley, but I was suffering increasingly from the constant headwind and various cramps.
Guildford railway station
I reached Guildford railway station at 12:19, to find I had missed a train by 5 minutes. I went to the deli for lunch of meatballs and chocmilk and caught the next train for Perth. The 1990 ride ended here as the train moved off.
Reading at Guildford: 20125. Corrected day’s ride: 71km.
Cumulative distance: 450km. Average km/day: 64.
