it’s amazing how many different things can go wrong with your knee. while the physio has been rectifying one issue, this has lead to me getting pain in another spot. the human body is so damn complex that it is a wonder that it holds together as long as it does. i am back on the bike again, but still under orders to take it easy for a while so it is the intermediate group for me this weekend.
there is a crit on at osborne park on sunday for anyone wanting to stretch their racing legs. this is a fund raiser to get a couple of juniors to italy this year for the junior world champs. bella is one of them and she has been out with us quite a few times in the past. more info here.
this sunday will also see a few of our riders tackle the 5 dam and 3 dam challenge set up by the ex-cyclosportif group. as such we will be doing the reverse of some of their routes so we can yell some support as they head the other way.
a big weekend next weekend with the breakfast and agmon saturday and the freeway bikehike on sunday. we will be setting up the tent in joondalup to promote the club to the riders finishing the event to try to encourage a few more people to come riding with us. this will also double up as a base for any spr riders that do the event and we will try to provide some refreshments for your arrival.
there are still a few outstanding kit orders that are yet to be paid.
and finally we have managed to secure a helmet deal with TBE for any of our members. info here.

coming home along stirling.
we did it one other time and it was fine. you can even get a good roll through happening as there are not many lights.
they also get to tackle mosman park hill, which everyone loves.

Thanks Pete. We’ll have a regroup at the water tower. I’m doing more nights for the breakfast ride next saturday so won’t be able to make it to the ride but I will get to the breakfast.
BHPB have had some presentatioons from Perth Integrated Health Clinic recently about cycling injuries (inc knees) and bike ergodynamics. They are starting to sound like they know what they are talking about for cyclists.
