Denmark to the first hut

Time to put the Boss bike to the test as I travelled along the coast and then scale 204 meters to the firat (or last) MB hut. This day probably has more trail surfaces, gradients and vistas than any other day.I stopped off at Denmark surf beach and topped up the bidons, especially on a hot day as the first climb to the wind turbines is just the start and there are no alternatives today. The new MB track is asphalt but can be dicey on the numerous corners with lots of small stones and sand. The snake ciunt was high (two) and they appear to like this asphalt heat sink.The coastal ride can be hot and tiring and from the asphalt, you move to single track (with plastic matting support) to corrugated road. The highlight apart from not running over a tiger snake by inches was Lights beach (or similar).This was far better than the oft-commented on Greens Lagoon as not all of Perth happened to be visiting this as they were the lagoon.Climbing up the mainly sealed roads is tiring in the heat and I became exceedingly dehydrated but as you scale the farmland and into the forest it spurs you on. There is a winery not a million miles from the hut however sadly it was closed but worth considering.As you get closer to the hut, the track deterioates, gets more sandy somehow and starts to climb.Tgw hut was vacant apart from a tree frog later on. A good place to kip l.
