some of you may occasionally follow some of the links that are on the right hand side of this blog. for those that don’t follow fatcyclist click over to his site and have a look back through his history. fatty’s website was originally about mountain and road biking, but it transformed some what into a cycling/cancer fight website due to his wife’s battle with breast cancer. he has links to the livestrong foundation and has managed to raise quite a bit of money for it. usually this involves some type of bike related prize and by donating to the foundation you go into the draw to win. unfortunately his wife passed on just this week but if you read his site, you will see they have managed to touch many people’s lives. there is a competition currently running and for every US$5 donation you have the chance to win a orbea orca with shimano di2. if there was ever a good cause to put you money into this is it.
as for us, saturday will see us head out to canning vale and back along welshpool. this is not a common route for us so both the main and fast groups will need to check the map closely. the majority of the way is well known to all, but after livingston marketplace it becomes a bit new. the main group just needs to remember not to turn laft onto albany hwy but cross over and head up to welshpool rd. the fast group has a number of intersections to negotiate so make sure the garmin is programmed well.
speaking of livingston marketplace, some of you may be wondering where sharon (from livingston specsavers) has been hiding lately. well she is getting too fat to ride the bike now since she is due to have a baby in the new year. i will have to see if cannibal can do a spr wondersuit.
the novice group will be running as per normal but many of the regulars will be away. therefore i need a volunteer to take the novices out on saturday morning. i am sure that one of you will like an easy day…
sunday does a nice loop around some of the regular climbs in kalamunda and mundaring. as we are usually not getting to the coffee shop until after 10 and they have been so busy lately, there has been a suggestion that we ride straight back to perth and have a coffee. this also allows those that need to get home quickley a chance to ride back with everyone else. my initial suggestion would be to go to the boatshed cafe as this is right next to the start location. put your suggestions in the comments.
I am indeed too fat to ride… but I am still paying attention! Thank goodness for the blog 🙂
