The second T group P/H ride proved even more popular that the first one we initiated at the end of Jan; a few M3’s joining in with some of the T regulars and we started off with 10 including Steve and Ivan sharing in the ‘Leaders’ role. Pace was up a little from the previous Sat ‘T’ ride heading into Shelley where we cracked he first of our roll throughs and with a few words of encouragement and a bit of fine trimming, everyone worked pretty well together.
At the end of Shelley picked up Mike & Patrick looking hot and sweaty having been deserted by the Main group. Very happy to have their company along Canning which provided the next opportunity for a team roll through – even better this time managing to set a reasonable inside speed in the low 30’s and the outside line sliding past tidily. Burke Drive and same again – funny how quickly distance seems to get covered when the pack works well together.
Up the climb into Stock & Reserve, good workout for the lungs and legs, quick rest and then off into Freo for the fast descent down to the river. Sat up waving the others through to let them have their heads and provide a wheel to a couple of stragglers, and then onto Leightons where we had to ease the pace a little to keep the back markers in touch; same again up the couple of small rises along Curtin Ave.    Swanbourne for the traditional re-group and then heading across Stirling for the usual way home.
Ave Speed at the return end of Mounts Bay was around 28.5 which was an improvement on Sats T ride (which I have to say was a little slow this week) and all in all a very comfortable & safe ride, no ‘incidents’ and everyone seemed happy with their efforts. Nice one team T.
