ride routes 3rd & 4th may

thought about not bothering this weekend. not bothering posting the route. not bothering turning up to lead the group. not bothering to organise the cycle kit. but a few e-mails of support have made me feel better, so here is the routes for the weekend.

sunday you are on your own again as five of us are heading down south to collie for the tom lowry memorial race. ryan has decided to ride the busso half in a team on the saturday and then back it up with the race on sunday. oh to be young again (he still doesn't qualify for a masters licence like the rest of us in the race team)

saturday 3rd may
risley and south st

sunday 4th may
kahuna & peet & patterson

ride routes 25th, 26th & 27th april

not sure if i will be riding on anzac day, but i am sure that there will be a group taking off at seven in the morning. benara rd on saturday to take advantage of the strong easterly's, and a long hilly sunday ride to round out the weekend.

friday 25th april - anzac day
public holiday ride

saturday 26th april
benara rd

sunday 27th april
carradine & canning dam

ride routes 19th & 20th april

i will be back on deck for the saturday ride this week after a couple of weeks of clashes. however, i will be doing the trophy race at wandi on sunday so will miss the hills ride again, but i promise i will be there on the long weekend. thanks to darren for blogging last sunday's ride.

saturday 19th april
rebold hill & cott

sunday 20th april
welshpool & observatory & kalamunda rd

ride routes 12th & 13th april

saturday 12th april
freo and cott

sunday 13th april
darlington and mundaring weir

ride routes 5th & 6th april

i will not be able to make it this week as i have decided to have a crack at the tour de perth support race. after having not raced since about 1992-3 my body should be in for a rude shock. doing the sunday ride means that i know the hills, but am used to stopping and waiting at the top of each climb. don't think i will get a chance to do that this week.

saturday 5th april
hale rd

sunday 6th april
kahuna & peet
i would skip the observatory and just got straight to kalamunda along canning rd as the tour de perth will be on the other roads. if you do see me, don't forget to wave.

ride routes 29th & 30th mar

a fast day planned for saturday, we will go hard on shelley, bannister, and the last bit of shep rd after welshpool rd intersection. regroup after each section and make sure you box ryan in for the final sprint.

sunday will be a repeated loop for the benefit of those doing the tour de perth the following weekend. i have mapped out three circuits, but it may be two depending on how the group feels. don't forget that daylight savings finishes this weekend.

saturday 29th mar
shelley

sunday 30th mar
tour de perth loop

ride routes 21st, 22nd, 23rd & 24th mar

easter long weekend means more opportunity for riding.

carradine & peet & observatory

sunday 9th mar
gooseberry & kalamunda & bickley

ride routes 23rd & 24th feb

i should be back on deck this weekend, however, my little boy has come down with a cold and is not sleeping well, so i may be playing it by ear. i'm sure you can cope with chris again.

strong easterly's are forecast so i was tempted to schedule in benara rd again, but we did that a couple of weeks ago. hale rd will still give us a nice return to the city.

saturday 23rd feb.
