Advanced Group Ride Report – Sunday 7/3/10

Dot Points by Julian

. Strong easterly made for a hard first climb
. Chris T, Jerard, Chris A, Heiko and Brodie took the points.
. Special mention for the brave (or foolish!) soul who led out on Lesmurdie Rd and did all the work only to get swamped in the last 200 m and come in 6th
. Group split after first climb due to punctures, the intermediate group going a different way and Lennie’s inability to read maps
. Observatory climb – Chris T, Johnny, Heiko, Chris A, Julian
. Camelberg climb made difficult by the fact that only one of us had done it before
. Dispute over finish line – I wanted to call it at the farm (as I was in front in the time) but was over-ruled by Brodie sprinting past
. Camelberg points – Chris A, Johnny, Julian, Jerard, Heiko
. A few big pbs on the climb – Brodie and Jerard’s 7.35 not as impressive as Damir’s 7.34 and Chris T’s 7.32
. Chris A, Damir, Brodie, Jerard, Julian in that order
. Gooseberry Hill only done by ~10 elite riders – Chris A, Johnny, Brodie, Heiko and Julian took the points
. Short coffee stop this week before a hot ride home
. Hopefully a more timely and more enthusiastic report next week!

  1. it was Chris A first on Lesmurdie rd and Chris T was third I think. Chris A and I will be doing the 5 dams challenge this sunday, 245Kms of torture, pain and a lot of KOM points!!

  2. the camelberg KOM is actually marked on the road. past the farm up by the intersection of weir rd. you can’t miss it.

  3. Cheeky s@d. Tiz true, maps are nowt but colourful lines on a flat plain, but it don’t help that Perth-ians can’t be bothered to label their roads. It is hell finding a particular road – s’pecially when they all look the same. Seems a good number of the others have map reading probs too coz there were a fair few just ahead of me. Even funnier how Perth-ians born and bred here can’t find their way around neither. Bah Humbug.
