ride routes 11th & 12th oct

3 Comments

so i added a couple more pages to the website this week.  all the saturday and sunday ride routes that we currently do have been posted for your perusal.  it also makes the blog part a bit neater as i will now just put the name and number of the saturday and sunday routes and you can look them up on the following pages.  i am currently working my way through them and re-mapping with the mountain and sprint points marked so people know what is going on.  i will add another page explaining the point system.

so, where are we riding today.

 

saturday 11th oct – saturday ride 09 (risely & south st)

sprint sections will be the portion of south street over the rolling hills then regroup and the normal final run into dalkeith.  take it easy past cottesloe as it is too busy to be playing boy racer.  i will not be riding this saturday for two reasons.  firstly i have races the next three weekends so am taking a family day instead.  secondly i finally got some new titanium hardware.  unfortunately it has been drilled into my lower jaw and i am not allowed to exert myself for three days.  should be right to go for the race on sunday though.

 

sunday 12th oct – sunday ride 03 (kahuna & peet & patterson)

as i will be at northam for the wonderful handicap race, someone will have to take note of the first five place finishers at each of the climbs.  the landmarks for the finish of the climbs should be pretty easy – first up kahuna, first to rolleystone high school, first to the top of the observatory and first to coffee.

ride routes 4th & 5th october

as it is the spr spring breakfast this saturday, the ride route will finish at my place in como instead of the usual coffee-shop sprint.  please remember that it is $10 per person and you will get more than enough food and coffee as well as a chance to win some raffle prizes.

the sunday hills ride will tackle most of the major climbs around kalamunda as we will need to burn off all the muffins and those evil brownies that lorraine makes.

saturday 4th oct – spr breakfast ride

sunday 5th oct – welshpool & mundaring & kalamunda

hopefully this weekend sees the return to the nice riding weather after the downpour we experienced over the last couple of days.  saturday we will tackle scarborough beach rd to see who has the legs over the rolling hills to the ocean.  sunday we will head south towards armadale and monday being a public holiday ride will follow the usual public holiday recovery ride route.

saturday 27th september – scarborough beach rd

 

sunday 28th september – carradine & peet & observatory

 

monday 29th september – public holiday ride

ride routes 20th & 21st sept

we haven’t had a play up by the tv stations for a while so i thought we would scoot past them this saturday and visit fatcat. we should again get a good run home with the breeze on our backs, but you know that means that it will be in our face first.

on sunday, mark, jerry, stu and i will be competing in the state team time trial (masters division) down at pinjarra. as stu was the only brave soul to venture out last week (and since he will be racing) i have mapped the same route as last week.

ride routes 13th & 14th september

with the predicted overnight storms on friday night, i am not expecting a record turnout for this saturday. we will hang close to the city as they are predicting very strong sw winds around +30 km/hr by 9:00. however, this will give us an exceptional run up mounts bay rd with a tail wind.

sunday there will be two south perth rouleurs teams competing in the cyclo-sportif at york. reports are that there are over 600 riders registered for the event. should be a big day. hopefully the south perth colours will be flying well. for any others left behind and looking for a hills ride, i have mapped out an easy one (to follow that is) up the kahuna then across to the observatory. enjoy.

we are going to tackle hale rd again on saturday, but this time in reverse. this means that it should be downhill from kalamunda to welshpool which will make it more fun. we will then go hard along welshpool and again along shep rd into the city. don’t forget to vote afterwards

sunday is fathers day so this year ask for the present of being allowed to come out and ride with us instead. it will be better for you than socks or jocks.

a three stage sprintfest awaits us on saturday. all flat and fast, but we will regroup after each hit out.
sunday will see us tackle both sides of the kahuna in the same ride which means that there has to be a descent in between. the weather has been excellent for riding, so i hope to see you all on the road this weekend.

to counteract the ride from two weeks ago when i made everyone sprint into the headwind along nicholson rd, i am getting us to come home via guilford rd with (hopefully) a nice north-easterly tailwind. however, we will need to negotiate ridgehill rd first.

sunday we will tackle welshpool rd again and hopefully i can redeem myself against young alistair in his sandshoes, before we tackle mundaring weir and kalamunda rd. this week we will be doing all the climbs before coffee and if i start to wuss out i need someone to step up and call me a blouse to pressure me into completing the circuit.

embedding the maps is still playing up so you will have to click to view them.

ride routes 16th & 17th august

ryan, stu and myself will be down at collie this saturday for a leisurely 104 km handicap event to donnybrook and back. should be a fun day. as for the rest of you, i am sending you around the river.

sprint points are at the climb past the mosman park bowling green with a regroup under the water tower further up the hill and around the corner. again on burke drive along attadale with a regroup before you get back on the hwy for the run home.

make sure someone looks after jens as he still doesn’t know his way around perth. stick together and generally look after one another.

sunday will be a fun day too. we are keeping it tight and looping around the same area. a strong will is necessary to pass the coffee shop and head down the zig-zag, but i am assuming peer pressure will keep the group together again.

sorry, the orginal post had the maps that were wrong. i thought they were fixed.

so we will have another crack at the sth lake route that we tried out almost two months ago. i have taken out the section of armadale rd and we now turn onto berrigan drive instead. hopefully this is a better choice.

on sunday, we will try the canning dam route that i posted a few weeks back. due to the weather, we didn’t make it all the way out there so will try again this week.

the mapmyride maps are still not working as an embedded map so you must click on the link to go to the actual site.
