Waited until the afternoon when the rain was supposed to be gone. Nice and sunny when I set out around the river, but approaching Pt Walter it got dark and started raining. Continued until Fremantle so got quite wet. Rain was threatening but didn't eventuate after that.

Around the river, by way of Curtin Uni first, then Mt Henry. Strong SSWly, so not much fun until after Fremantle.

Bassendean ride, cold but thankfully no wind.

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'.
