So after some recon last week I think we have a green light for go for a new Wednesday morning ride. For something different this ride starts at Ciao Italia on the corner of Douglas Street at 6am. You can have half an hour sleep in. Bring your game though because this might be a quick one.
Starting at Ciao Italia we head south to Shelley. Shenanigans down Shelley till the end. We will have a brief regroup and go over the Rossmore footbridge to do the ‘Block‘ around Karel ave > Burrendah > Vahland > Apsley . We then go back over the footbridge and return down Shelley in the other direction for more shenanigans.
So yes – that is a double Shelley morning 🙂
If you get left behind on the way out just turn left down Pinetree Guly Rd to Apsley and you will get picked up for the run home. It’s a good shortcut.
On our recon ride last week we clocked Ciao to Ciao at exactly 40km and we were back at 7:15am.
There will be quick bits in this ride – but the out and back structure means that unlike the SPR Hero Ride (which is my own personal name for Thursday Fast ride) there is less pressure as you can get back on the bunch for the ride home.
Here is the map
Wednesday Morning. 6am. Ciao Italia on the corner of Millpoint Rd and Douglas Ave South Perth.
Lol, nice photo
group riding on a wednesday….IN THE MORNING!? is that even legal in perth. Hopefully not, then this ride would be even cooler
Bugger. Would love to do this, but the 6AM start makes it a bit of a late finish. Enjoy 🙂
Certainly a ride to give the legs and lungs a workout. It’s short and sweet (a bit like myself I suppose…)
I particularly liked ‘The Block’. It’ll be quick!
woof?

Stats please guys. Ave speed and number of fingers lost to frostbite please.
8 riders (including 1 lennie). lost 1 big toe due to frostbite. shelly was fast (but so was lennie). “the block” was good. roads were quiet and nice. foot bridge may be the only concern if the group gets too big. not as fatiguing as thursday due to the flat terrain. give it 2 thumbs up (as long as they have double gloves on)
you can look at the strava link to todays ride up there ——>>>
Wicked ride. Can always rely on “the calves” to come up with a nice pancake route (unlike el presso). Warning: come equipped with a massive pair of lungs and heaps of energy. Note Shelleys is done at full blast not once but TWICE …Gulp. (For once, my chunky glutes were a godsend). Loved the later 6am start time. Still back in plenty of time to enjoy a moccha & skip across to work.
Catcha.
