Happy New Year to everyone and I hope all your dreams and resolutions for 2015 come true.
Two rides in two days is a good start to the New Year.
A leisurely Guildford loop via the Great Eastern Hwy/Ascot racecourse cycle paths to Garvey Park.
If the back door to the cafe is open you can get a coffee or tea.
The lady very kindly did this for us even though they were not open.
From Garvey I headed down the cycle path alongside GEH (Great Eastern Hwy) and crossed the Helena Valley Bridge into Guildford.
The new section of cycle path is brilliant. It is wide like the new freeway path, well signposted and minimum number of stoppages or crossovers.

A Shelley loop ride with the return going over Manning road and riding passed Canning College to Hayman road. I must admit the legs were rather tired from the previous day's Guildford ride but still very enjoyable. The scenery was idyllic. There were lots of cyclists riding and plenty of people paddling canoes.
There are lots of cycling goals I would like to achieve this year.
The big ones are:
Commute to work at least twice a week.
Ride three to five 200s.
And the big one is organise and ride the Great Southern Railway from York to Albany. If I don't make it to Albany then to Katanning. Yet to be decided.
The reason for creating and riding this railway line is due to a great sense of family heritage. My father worked on this railway for many years, driving steam engines and then diesel engines. Other family members farmed in and around Tambellup and Kendenup.
Initial ideas is to ride just after Easter around the 5th of April where the temperature is not too hot or too cold, the landscape is starting to green up and the freight traffic volume will be low.
If anyone knows about the side tracks or rail trails down this line please let me know.
