Ride type: Road
Terrain: Some hills but mostly flat
Estimated Distance: 45 km loop from Narrows
Start Place: Narrows - South Side
Start Time: 8:30 am
This week's ride is the Riverton Road/Point Walter loop, starting and finishing at the Narrows (South Side). We'll also have a usual meet at Maylands at 8:00 am and ride to the Narrows for the main ride.
The first half, past Curtin Uni and along Riverton Road is mostly flat. After that, there are a few modest hills until we reach the river again near Point Walter. Then it's onto familiar roads and cycle paths back to Canning Bridge and up the cycleway to the finish at the Narrows.
Coffee stop will probably be in Applecross. See Garmin connect for the plot of the last time we did this ride.

Saturday June 19 - Hilly Classics - Superhilly [8:30am start]
Ride Organiser: Robert Hind Robert@robert-hind.com
Organisers mobile tel: 0417 934 502
Ride style: Social
Ride type: Road
Terrain: Very Hilly
Estimated Distance: 50 kms
Start Place: Gidgegannup
Start Time: 8:30 am
It was back in October 2008 when we last did the "SuperHilly".
Gidge 'B', the so-called ATTA (Australian Time Trials Association) 'SuperHilly' course is a testing 40km and no-one has yet come close to breaking the hour. Meet at the gazebo in the car park just to the west of the Gidgegannup Shell roadhouse (on the right as you enter town from Perth) at 8:30am. While the start is on the left in Reserve Rd just prior to entering town; the finish is directly opposite the roadhouse. The biggest and toughest climb is out of the valley along O'Brien Rd from the creek crossing; it's pretty much 'up' all the way back to Toodyay Rd. Character building stuff. We usually take intermediate times at the 11km point: the turn into Clenton Rd off Berry.
Please do not park in the Shopping Centre Carpark or in the Garden Centre across the road: use the parking adjacent to the Gazebo or at the Showgrounds - off Toodyay Rd a bit past Bunning Rd. Toilet facilities are available at the western side of the Showgrounds.
There are extra loops we can add in to boost this to a 50km or 60km ride.
See the route / profile from the last time we did this.

Cycling Safety Survey
Here is an opportunity to contribute to Cycling Safety...
Monash University are conducting a Cycling Safery Survey. Monash University - Cycling Safety Survey
The aim of this study is to identify ways to improve safety for on-road cyclists by understanding the experiences of cyclists and drivers. It is anticipated that the responses will contribute to identifying the specific areas that need to be targeted to improve cyclist safety.
The survey was originally supposed to close on May 31 but I understand it is being kept open to encourage more response.
