Time: 8:30 a.m.Location: Corner Scott St and Great Eastern Highway, Koongamia
This week's ride is a hilly ride starting at 8:30a.m. from the corner of Scott St and Great Eastern Hway, Koongamia.
We'll take the back streets to Mundaring via a series of fairly short hills, then cycle past the weir to Kalamunda. (That'll make us all weird.) The hill on the Kalamunda side of the weir and the last few km into Kalamunda are the big challenges of the ride.
Morning tea will be at Paris Brest -- for which we have buy-one-get-one-free vouchers. (I won't talk about the Brest's passion for pairs.)
We'll head back to the start via Gooseberry Hill and the zig-zags.
Hope to see you there,
Terry
Hello there Jolly FruitFly
ReplyDeleteCount me in! (for the hilly ride)
It was a day for tough riders, and three (yes, only three!) of the toughest (for the record, this was Terry, Judit and Paul) converged to Scott St for a jaunt up in the hills.
ReplyDeleteWe had a great ride that was challenging and exhilarating in equal parts. The weather was clearing and the gales had abated, so all those people who piked because of the weather REALLY MISSED OUT! The main dangers were the branches and gravel scattered over the roads.
The hills were mostly manageable, although a few steep pinches had me digging deeper than I have done for a long time.
Morning refreshments at Paris-Brest were excellent. For me, the almond croissant and a bowl of hot chocolate hit the spot.
Swooping down the zig-zag was a joy rediscovered for me. It's been years since I did that and I can't remember enjoying it so much.
So, that's it for the ride, but one last comment. What about Judit? This girl is a monster in the hills! By the end of today's ride, I was getting quite used to seeing her disappear up the road at alarming speed every time we started going uphill. She can really ride.
OK, I'm off in search of more calories...
