first weekend in december and the hot weather is back with us again. a predicted max of 37 deg and i think most will be swapping the coffees for coke or one of melvyn’s specials…the strawberry milkshake. please make sure that you are sunsmart, cover what you can and make sure you have plenty of water.
our final breakfast of the year will be next weekend (12th) at jerry’s house in city beach. the ride route will probably be a variation on the scarbs beach rd route that finishes at the breakfast. the group will not be splitting so there will be generally an easier pace but some regroups after certain fast sections. please be aware that you will need to find your own way home after you have filled up on all the goodies. the previous post has more details so make sure that you rsvp to lisa so we know how many to expect. the following week will be the final saturday ride before christmas so that will be our “dress-up ride”, so dig out the santa suit…or satan suit if you are dyslexic.
this sunday is the cyclemania classic race up way past joondalup. we have an outstanding amount of entries with about 25 people riding in spr colours over 5 different grades. it is our biggest turn out yet so hopefully we can make a good showing. either way we will make a good showing as a club through sheer numbers.
the easterly winds predicted to blow the hot air onto us make for a good run along benara rd. the main group will take the tried and true route and cross at ascot to head along guilford rd. the fast group will head a bit further out and come back through midland before hooking up with benara rd. make sure you know the ride route as i will be with the main group so i still have legs left for the race on sunday.

with the majority of the usual sunday suspects away racing and the weather still predicted to be fairly warm, i have posted a easier route that stays close to kalamunda. up gooseberry, down the zig-zag, up kalamunda, down towards pickering brook, up mundaring weir rd to coffee. see how many times you pass the coffee shop before relenting.
