"Life Cycles" The movie!!

 We hear there is a movie being screened called "Life Cycles" and no it is nothing to do with Life Cycle for CanTeen but it is about cycling. All money raised on the screening night will go to support WAMBA's trail advocacy work to improve their mountain bike trails. WAMBA is the West Australian Mountain Bike Association.

The film is being screened at the Cygnet Cinema in Como on the 1st November 2010. Doors open at 6.30pm, and the film will show at 7.30. Tickets will be $20 and be available at the Garvey Park Dirt Crits. They are also available online at https://www.registernow.com.au/mtba/ERegister.aspx?E=496 .

Saturday October 9, 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
