Finally im riding that way at 6am, hope its open. At least it will be easier on the way home now not having to go up the road.

False alarm (SNAFU)- not open at 6:55 this morning and someone else rode through at ~7:30 and wasn't open then either-

Lets see if it is open this evening!

Surprised no one has snuck on and created a Strava segment yet.

Prime opportunity for KOM status...at least until it opens for all.

I have reliably been advised it is open season for new Strava segments - who will get in first

i.e. the diversion is open :D

to those involved, thank you for a good bit of path. don't let the whingers discourage you from improving another section.

It's open! I rode through it half an hour ago. Would it be churlish of me to say the Mitchell PSP is now a little more boring? :wink: :D :twisted:

Very nice- and the strava segments are up and running in both directions too- I need to improve my position :oops: (today is a recovery day)

How nice is this section now? No more struggling up that damn hill whilst watching the corner for traffic.

Very smooth, very nice in both directions. It certainly feels like we've lost a perfectly good hill when heading North!

No, I thought the same thing myself the first time I went down the hill. Then again, that little bit of wetland at the Southern end adds some interest, and the smooth uphill gradient on the way back makes it all worthwhile.

I was joking of course, it is a great improvement. However, in my 33km ride from Currambine to the city the longest section of path that was relatively flat, straight and without swapping path-road or vice versa was maybe 1.5km. There is now a section of almost 4km between Karrinyup Road and Excalibur Way. Those who ride in from the south are probably thinking "big deal" but for the first time I actually have to think about pacing myself rather than constantly attacking a climb then resting on a descent or having to slow for a junction then accelerate away again.
