Sunday August 8 - Avon Descent Morning Tea

The Rotary Club of Balcatta are again holding a Fundraising Morning Tea to view the Avon Descent and this time proceeds will go to "Wheelchairs for Kids". A few of us attended last year's Fundraising Tea. It was enjoyable (and profitable for me!). Let me know if you're planning to join us for this ride and I'll do a "bulk" rsvp.

Come along and cheer Ride_Group members (Julie Cammell and Glen Dusenburg) as they near the end of their Avon paddle.

Saturday July 17, 2010 - Hills Ride

Ride Organiser: Robert Hind Robert@robert-hind.com
Organisers mobile tel: 0417 934 502
Ride style: Social
Ride type: Road
Terrain: Hilly
Estimated Distance: 50 kms
Time: 8:30 am
Location: Corner Scott St and Great Eastern Highway, Koongamia

This week's ride, by popular request, is a hilly ride starting at 8:30 am. 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. 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 Le Croissant.
We'll head back to the start via Gooseberry Hill and the zig-zags.

Here is the plot from when we last did this ride:


Hope to see you there,
Robert
