Day 1 – Perth to Brookton
We all woke up early on a cold drizzly morning and arrived at Swan Christian College by 7:30am. It didn’t stop raining the whole morning, which was very upsetting and wet. We did quick stretches, packed the luggage and the group was briefed on the day ahead. We eventually headed off and within minutes the group was split due to mechanical issues on Mr Lewis’ bike. We headed towards Welshpool Road, the first hill of many to come, where Elliot won the King of the Mountain (KOM). After a quick break we headed off towards Karragullen for our first break of the day. When we arrived at Karragullen, morning tea was prepared for us by the lovely road crew. Just as we were about to head off the heavens opened once again and we were forced to take cover under the verandah. Once the rain had eased a little we set off again towards Brookton. Overall it was a very successful but tiring day, with another 7 to go!
