Novice Ride Report – Saturday 5th December

by dr ronny

I’m very proud this week and pleased to say that we didn’t get lost. I know, there are so many people to thank for this wonderful achievement but I couldn’t have done it without everyone in the group. And of course, God.
We had another good turn out with a new rider (Belinda) joining thanks to Pete’s recruitment at the Tour de Perth (apparently the tent impressed).
We climbed the two short hills at Applecross with Jacqui taking them both and Debra getting to the top of the Majestic for the first time without having to get off. Well done!
Our roll through was solid again and Belinda picked up on it quickly. On our way back, I mentioned about the “sprint” up Bull Creek Rd to Belinda who was looking strong and even warned to look out for the tricksy Jacqui. I rounded the left hander in first wheel and Belinda came out from my wheel to get a sizable lead. I looked back to see Jacqui trying to bridge the gap but honestly thought she had left it too late. Just near the top Belinda seemed to be slowing down as Jacqui continued to bury herself to close the gap. I’m pretty sure she won that one, only because Belinda stopped going full gas, but I did warn her about J……

A few options for next week:
1. start and finish at Coode st and then drive to Jerry’s Β or
2. meet at Coode st, drive to Jerry’s, and then ride round there including doing a bit of Oceanic Drive near Reabold hill or
3. meet and Jerry’s at 7am and do a longer circuit (i was thinking claremont-nedlands-subi-reabold-jerry’s)

Please leave a comment if you have a preference. I think that 2 or 3 is better as I don’t wanna miss too much of the brekkie.

  1. Hey Dr Ronny πŸ™‚ – was a terrific ride although a little warmer than I would’ve liked – can only blame the summer. As I will be having a nice well earned break in Sydney for this weeks ride I will leave the choice up to you guys πŸ™‚ But I think we should try and do a different route somewhere so that we can alternate at least on Saturdays. What does everyone think? Cheers and have a fantastic week Lynda x
