Two Rocks

Clarkson to Lancelin Tour 2010, six days, cumulative distance: 285km.

I had not been to Lancelin for 16 years. Previous rides there in 1990 and 1994 had involved long runs, broken spokes, unrideable roads, cramp, bad weather and outdated or inaccurate maps. I planned to start at the extremity of the northern rail line and go to Lancelin, in easy stages of 40 to 50 km a day, staying in different places, then come back via Gingin and possibly Bindoon.

Clarkson to Two Rocks, day 1, Monday 25 October 2010. I left Clarkson rail station at 11 am, odometer reading 62, and went westward along Ocean Keys Boulevard until I reached the T-junction with Marmion Avenue, which has since 1990 been extended all the way to Two Rocks. Turning into Marmion Avenue I welcomed the south-westerly tailwind that would help me all the way to Lancelin.

I reached Yanchep in less than an hour and stopped for a rest at 84. I reached Two Rocks at 91, before 1 pm, a bit early to check into my guest house which was on Sovereign Drive opposite the shopping centre. I felt relaxed and under no pressure so I had lunch at the snack shop and read my magazine.  ... Read more

Two Rocks to Guilderton, day 2, Tuesday 26 October 2010. I had an embarrassment on this morning – I woke up, looked at my watch and thought it said 7:40. I don’t know why. I got up and went to the breakfast area. There was nothing on the table and all was silent. I made a cup of coffee and started to hear sounds from the other side of the door where Pat and her husband lived. I checked my watch again and saw that it actually said nearly 7 am! I apologised profusely when Pat came in looking unhappy and started putting stuff out for breakfast. I got cereal and bacon and eggs and toast and they put out the full range of fruit and juices for just one guest.  ... Read more
