Event: FootO 9 Gunapin Ridge East
 

Walking H4 course at Gunapin, gps 3.64kms and 2 mins less. The Master SI station was 2 mins fast, but you would think the start and finish bricks would both be out as well. Maybe the start brick didn't get sync'd.

Slow as, had to be careful of the quad with foot placements in rocky terrain with a fair bit of fallen timber, but still came 2nd! One minor mistake near the end, going up the very rocky spur to 10, the theory being to climb early, but it was very slow with rock and fallen timber; straight with a climb at the end would have been better. No way that control was a gully either on the map or on the ground - should have been described as 'between cliffs'.

H4 - Splits

Around the river via Mt Henry, met PP at Swanbourne. About half of the ride in SCR, using higher gears now when conditions are favourable. Have now done 30,000kms on the Beemer.

Bassendean, but starting through the city, around S Perth and over Matagarup. Very windy.

Around the river in SCR, avoiding the worst gradients and taking it easy on the unavoidable ones.
