another fine looking weekend on the radar and it looks like winter will never get here. the mornings are a fraction colder, but not “vest and leg warmer” type cold yet. so lets take advantage of it while we can. barring illness or injury, i may actually make it to a ride this weekend so it will be interesting to see how much form i have lost.
saturday will see a run up hale rd with the split happening at the start of hale rd. from there, the main group will head home via kalamunda rd while the fast group will hop over ridgehill first. moderate ene winds predicted so it should be a fun run home along guilford road.
the novice group was a success at it’s initial outing and thanks to julian for kicking that off. so successful in fact that one of the girls went out that afternoon and traded the mountain bike for a pinarello. we will try to develop that ride a bit more and hopefully it will grow into a good starting point for beginner riders. if any of your friends, partners or work colleagues show an interest in riding but have been too afraid to go with a group, invite them along as it is pretty low key.
sunday will take on an old favourite with carrawatha and carradine followed by peet rd. ok, not really a favourite as such, but one that we have done quite a bit before. the state road champs are on in about 2 weeks and the finish line is on this route, so it will give people a good practice run.
