Well it looks like being  a  Barry Crocker weatherwise this weekend – strong Easterlies on Saturday and 41°C on Sunday.  The choice of rides for both days was difficult but I’ve decided to go for a coast ride on Saturday.  The logic behind this is that the winds will be gustier near the hills and the last time we were out on Hale Rd in strong winds it was a bit hairy.  Therefore, we can enjoy a tail wind along Leach Hwy or South St, then struggle back thorough Peppy Grove and Dalkeith and onto Mounts Bay Rd.

For those who aren’t heading to the Crits, on Sunday, we’ll tackle Gooseberry Hill first then back down the zig-zag and up Kalamunda Rd.  From there it could be an early coffee or a trip out to Carmel then back up Mundaring Weir Rd, depending on the weather .  I think this one was listed just before Christmas but I’ve chosen it again so if we pull out early, at least we’ll have had a good climb first.

Peter’s back next weekend so this is my last week of Guest Programming.  I look forward to seeing a big turnout for both days and good luck to everyonewho is competing on Sunday.
