queensland, beautiful and humid and sweaty one day, expecting 40-80mm of rain the next. on a plane to the hunter valley tonight, so i have to get the ride routes out early. sorry to anyone that has emailed me this week, but my internet is a bit hit and miss. i also, my lack of riding and living on hotel food will be quite telling when i get home.
bike paths – there have been some more complaints about SPR riders on the bike paths especially after our training rides. the tuesday morning ride is getting quite big with summer approaching and after we regroup at the raffles there are a lot of riders heading up the path. we need to be aware of other riders on the path and also be aware that legally you are only allowed to ride single file. if this continues to be an issue, we may need to change the ride routes and cross the bridge via the road (similar to the weekend earlybird). please be considerate to other bike riders.
tour de perth – good luck to those that are competing this weekend, especially those that are doing all three stages.
movember – support the spr mo-team as it is almost coming to an end. more info here.
ride routes – saturday numbers may be a bit lower as there are many doing the tour de perth road race. as such, we might need YOU to step up and help out. this might be as easy as knowing EXACTLY where the ride route is to go. don’t forget our new coffee location on saturday and diversion to the ride route (see here).

A CALL OUT: Any C graders keen to do the Northern Districts Classic on Sunday December 4th? http://www.wa.cycling.org.au/event.asp?ID=1883
not me but son Seb has entered Junior U13. see u there?… 🙂
I’m thinking of doing the women’s grade…
south lakes wooooooooooooooooooooooo hooooooooooooooooooooooo ;0)
PS watercorp nick – your feeble strava efforts failed to stop me talking this morning – bad luck ;0)
Damn Lennie. You really could talk?
I couldn’t. In fact I really did overdo it.
After doing hills today in the TdP I think I might skip them tomorrow and do a flat course. Earlybird (if I can get out of bed) then the start of the Sunday hills ride with a left onto Hale, etc.
For those that are regulars at the Sunday Hills ride a handful of us had coffee today at the ‘Zig Zag’ Cafe…on William St, Kalamunda…near the start/finish line of the Tour de Perth 2012. It’s very cosmo…great coffee, decadent muffins and bike racks in view etc. I’m thinkin’ it’s a goer for future Hills Rides.
Yeah great coffee alright… just don’t dare walk across the garden bed… or you know where the owner will shove your muffin, decadent or not..!!
