it’s spring. the buds are budding, the sprouts are sprouting and the roots….well they’re having a good time too.
unfortunately they are predicting a very wet spring. while this is good for the garden and water supply it is bad for the brake pads and knicks. as such with the forecast predicting showers for saturday, the group will not split, but we will revert back to the good old days and have specified fast sections withregroup points at the end. these will be after cresswell hill, and herdsman lake.
south perth rouleurs saturday ride 14 (cresswell & herdsman)
UPDATE – this route has changed slightly. make sure you upload the new tcx file if you have a garmin
sunday will keep us close to kalamunda with a looping circuit around the surrounding hills. only 90kms all up but taking in 4 climbs means that there will be little respite between climbs. we trialed the merchant tea house last sunday and the service was very prompt. space may be a problem if the group is big, but we had a coffee and were home by just after 11:30. we will see how it goes.

there is a previous post about the state team time trial coming up on the 20th. if you have a full racing licence (masters or elite) i encourage you to put your name down. i will be pushing this event as it is a really good opportunity for us to present as a club. four to a team of guys (three for girls) and it is only 42kms. even if you don’t have a time trial bike or even aero bars, i recommend that you give it a go. think of it like a short cyclo-sportif event.
Last time I did this ride James & I did a synchronised stack and I broke my collar bone.
If I join you all, can you :
a) Guarantee the road will be dry, and
b) Guarantee I won’t fall off and break my collar bone again?
🙂
i’ll look after you mate, but if you seen any gum nuts – move to the front…
well chuck, even though it was wet it may have had something to do with the speed you boys took the roundabout at.
anyway, that was when you were both expecting babies. so unless you are expecting again you should be right.
haahahaha, you guys….
I better miss it then;)
Im taking my TT bike for a rap so maybe just sit on the back and watch all the fun 🙂
at my current fitness level I may well be back behind you nico
no offence John but I’ll be keeping clear of you through dalkieth mate 😉
chuck you’ll be fine besides you might want to be more concerned with the fact you had a chick changing your flat tube yesterday…… 😉
That isn’t some sort of coded colloquial expression is it, Lisa? (Just asking the obvious before Ryan does).
Good call Mr B 🙂
interpret as you wish!!
ps: chuck tried to do it himself and the first effort exploded before the tube was even inflated fully, the second time I took control it was full inflated in no time 😉
Well when you have heaps of practising by self Lisa of cause it goes off quick;)
Always good to have help the second time around 😉
…and then i had to do it twice more by myself on the way home that afternoon…what a day 🙂
Have you changed much Chuck? Would I recognize you?
Nothing better than when a lady takes charge of a mans tube! (hadto say it….where is Fynn??)
Married life will do that for you – a man resorting to his own devices.
I’m sorry to have missed it – even though it sounds like it was a little wet.
Does not sound like Chuck has not changed much.. Still managing to rack up multiple flats in one ride… You would think he would learn that supersonic tubes are not the way forward..
As for all the Inn Your End O, you people have got me all wrong…
