It goes through some wild towns in WA-Meckering & Malebelling. I'm sitting here giggling about it already.

Now that i've made the decision can I ask if i'm already on the right track with my riding during the week. This is how my normal week looks:
Mon-Swim Am, pilates PM
Tues/Wed-ride 20km am to work,50km+ after (wed pm may change to shorter distance due to running)
Thurs-Swim Am
Fri-Same as tues/wed
Sat-sometimes mtn bike ride or hilly road ride
Sunday-mtn bike

So for SK, Jobob, V, MP & the other long distance ladies..is 200km that bad? 200km seems quite short when I think about it.

Would one of those rivendell bags be a good idea for this ride?

For your enjoyment, here's some info about the ride-http://www.audax.org.au/pdf/wa/D200.pdf

I think you will be fine. You obviously do plenty of riding through the week. My only suggestion would be that you do some longer rides on the weekend .
Not sure what your longest ride is to date but you should look at increasing your longest ride. If you have some 120km or so rides under your belt you will know you have the steam to finish the 200km. You didnt mention how much climbing it has but Im assuming its reasonably flat being WA however the wind might be another thing.

Have fun and good luck with the training and dont forget to post a ride report we would love to hear all about it.
