Carry water on warm days—even short rides need hydration in WA's climate. Summer heat and bushfire risk mean early-morning rides are safer. Wear appropriate cycling shoes and check your bike's tyres suit dirt surfaces. Spring wildflowers may be visible in surrounding bushland. Best ridden March to May or August to October.
