Cottesloe to Meelup Beach Tour 1977

Cottesloe to Meelup Beach, 6 day bicycle tour, 1977.   This is the first of a series of retrospective bike stories, of rides taken before 1987. (1987 was the first ride to be fully documented in the current format, with distances, speeds, rest stops and so on, moreover written as soon after the event as possible.) This provided not only a record of the ride but a time capsule of the person I was at the time. To write about a ride nearly thirty years after the event is to try to look back on the person I was then and explain the mistakes and stupidities. The earlier rides took place in November-December, which of course meant that I was battling heat or strong south-westerly winds. Pulling them back to September-October was a sensible idea.
