Esperance Ride Report 27/12/13
Put the word out I was down in Esperance and keen for a ride. CRF Richard and his son Dylan were keen so we met up at Wyllie Bay car park. Took off from there into the Wyllie Bay sand dunes and from there we followed the dunes through until we came to the first of the sand hill climbs - Brown's Hill. Myself and Dylan managed to get up first shot but with a short run up and Richard's bike being heavier, made it a bit tough to get up. After a few shots at getting up, we headed back through to the dunes to do the back half of the Ridgeline - a single trail that weaves along the rear of the dunes. The Ridgeline certainly gives you a good workout with twisty and tight track and overgrown vegetation, lucky if you get out of third gear. After completing the Ridgeline, we turned off onto a 4WD track and headed back to the beach. The track was a relief as it was nice and wide. Unfortunately at this time of year, we had to be careful of the 4WDs and Razors which are becoming quite popular now. Once at the beach we decided to head back to a section of the track called the Big Dippers which are two big sand hill climbs one after the other. We all managed to get through but once again it was quite challenging as there was little run up and it was a matter of getting on the gas and holding it all the way through to get to the top. Was a relief getting to the top of the second Dipper as there was little to no breeze and the day was quite warm. All in all it was a good ride and I hope to do it all again this year (2014).
Have posted pictures. The shot of the 4WDs lined up on the beach doesn't show clearly how many 4WDs there are. If you haven't been to Esperance, you should put it on your to-do list.
Cheers
