Racked up another couple of hundred kilometres today in attempt to get the Fournales broken in as quickly as possible. Again the roads were the usual rough and ready WA specials, this time out to Yanchep then across to Bullsbrook and back into Perth along. Gnangara road.
I made a point today of trying to ride the roughest parts of the road, and what I noticed was the very rough (but not necessarily heavily bumpy) bits had very little effect on the ride. The Fournales 'glide' over the rough road without translating that roughness through to you derriere. This is helpful when the road surfaces are generally less than ideal and gives you more confidence in the corners, although get your line wrong and they won't save you!! (I said confidence not over-confident!)
So with 400km or so done the ride does appear to be getting better and I am back to work this week and will run up an extra few hundred km before the weekend. The 1500km run in period will be done in less than 2 weeks at this rate.
