• C Grade – 2nd – Claire Tyrrell

1. MCC Burswood Criterium

2. Perth City Criterium Championship (12/Mar)

 

From the Ride Coordinator — From this Sunday (5th March) the Hills rides will start at 7am.

Red lights mean stop. If you’re at the front of a group, then orange lights mean stop. Make the call loud and clear, so that the riders behind have time to respond. If for any reason the group splits due to a red light, then ride really easy until the “All on” call is heard. Riders are less likely to run the lights if they know the group will wait.

Enjoy the good weather this long weekend.
