Great WA Bike Ride - I loved cycling the tall timber!

Well done, Bicycle Victoria on running a great Great WA ride!

Gearing up for the Great Vic Bike Ride

I took the camera, but bike cam was wobbly (I need both hands to steer on the spectacular bits). Then I just wanted to get to the finish not too far behind my son - and made it!
