well it looks like the cold and wet has arrived with a vengeance but hopefully you will all take note of my cyclist creed –

“don’t look at the weather report to work out if you are riding.  look at the weather report to work out what to wear while you are riding”

someone once asked me where we were riding on the weekend.  i told them.  they then asked where we were riding if it rained.  i said the same route, only wetter.  it is a fact of life with cycling that it will not always be perfect weather.  we have had it pretty good so far this year, especially as it is only 2 weeks till winter, so grab the wet weather gear out of the cupboard and find the big gloves and booties.

saturday will see the group have a crack at scarborough beach rd.  both groups will do practically the same course except the fast group will add in a small return down to victoria street station in mosman park.  the split point will actually be after we turn onto winthrop to go around kings park, as the hill will allow a nice split and anyone that can’t hold the fast group can be sweep up by the main group.

sunday will see a few of us heading to roleystone for the state road championships.  i have kept the sunday hills ride away from brookton hwy as there will be a lot of other bike related congestion going on there.  even though it would be good to have you guys there as support, you probably won’t see much as it is an out and back course.  i have send you to john forrest national park instead, so have fun on greenmount and parkerville.  study the map well you now go through stoneville on the way to mundaring.
