Riding through the forest trails in the Southwest of Western Australia
rides subject to demand

Taylor, pedalling away on the left and the maintainer of this website
although a member of the Perth Over 55 Cycling Club lives full time in
Manjimup on the Southwest Highway 320 kilometres south of Perth. This
area is partly agricultural and partly state forest. The state forest
is closely dissected by numerous well maintained timber haul roads
which are very rarely used these days. These make beautiful, quiet
cycling routes on firm gravel with very little corrugation and few
potholes. A suitable bike should have at least one and three eighth
inch tyres. A hybrid or a mountain bike or a trekking tourer would be
suitable. Some of the routes have a series of short hills as they
traverse the various forest streams. Interestingly the main haul
routes have fewer hills and run along the watersheds. They are better
aligned than some of the local bitumen roads in that respect. If you are interested in a few rides through this area either along the forest trails or sticking to the bitumen David would be pleased to act as your guide. Contact David Taylor |
