Ken's Magical Mystery tour is scheduled again for this weekend. We will
start from the Maylands Railway Station at 8:00 with a hook up at the
Narrows (South) at 8:30. This will be a slow, leisurely ride following
the river. Even if you've done this ride before the exact route is a
mystery. Will we have a coffee stop or two or three? Will Ken remember
the route?...a mystery!
On October 8 We'll welcome Ken back and do his famous mystery ride. Look forward to it!

Saturday October 1, 2011 - 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 and hopefully catch up with Paul (who will be doing a longer Hills Ride). We'll head back to the start via Gooseberry Hill and the zig-zags.

The lost art of the group ride
Francis sent us this article from his favourite web-site, Cycling Tips and I agree that it is good reading.
I think it is also timely... we periodically need to remind ourselves (me included) that we're a group and that we need to look after each and keep a "group pace" ...being a pace where we stay together as a group, safely.

VELO-CITY: Perth | Cycling in Western Australia
The other day I was browsing through a bike shop and I stumbled upon a book covering all facets of cycling in Western Australia.
VELO-CITY: Perth | Cycling in Western Australia is a delightful collection of articles written by local cyclists including people who have been or are members of the Ride_Group (Chris Tallentire, Judit Szito and Mel Webb). I recommend the book ..see the associated web site for where to buy the book or for more information... http://velocitywa.com.au
