2. bike path to along south side of river to Nicholson Rd
3. Spencer St, Corfield Rd, Lake Rd, Armadale Rd to Dome or Gloria Jeans in Armadale
4. Armadale Rd, Lake Rd, Ranford Rd to Roe Hwy

Saturday July 28, 2012 - Unfamiliar But Not Unfriendly Freo ride

Ride Organiser: Paul Kittler 
Organiser's email pjkittler@iinet.net.au
Organiser's mobile tel: 0468 462 528
Ride style: Social
Ride type: Road
Terrain: Mainly flat - but some hills
Estimated Distance: 52 kms+
Start Point: Maylands, Narrows - South Side
Start Time: Maylands 8:00, Narrows (North) 8:30

This weekend's ride is a bit hillier and slightly longer than the Friendly Freo ... and it doesn't stop in Freo ...hence it is being called "the Unfamiliar But Not Unfriendly Freo ride".

Starting from the Narrows (North Side), it hugs the river on its way to Freo via Peppermint Grove. Some hills involved but not too painful if the pace is modest. Once into Freo, go straight past the usual cafe stop (this may be the most painful part of the ride for some people) and continue down Marine Parade to South Fremantle, then head inland via Clontarf, Winterfold and Farrington Roads. Cross the freeway, turn left through Leeming and Bullcreek to the coffee stop at Denada in Brentwood (or Mount Pleasant, depending on which review you read). When we are stuffed with sufficient calories, we will remount for the short roll back to the Narrows.

The total distance of this loop is about 52km. None of you will know the exact route, so you'll have to follow me and enjoy the ride.

Pick up points are, as usual, Maylands at 8:00 and Narrows (North Side) at 8:30.

Let us know if you're riding!

Remember to let us know if you're planning to join us for a ride.

There are some simple reasons for this:-

1. If we know you're coming and aren't there when we're ready to go we'll wait or contact you to see if you're ok and on your way.
2. People will feel more inclined to come along when they know others that are riding
3. Others will feel there is more interest in the ride
4. If we need to make changes for some reason (ie weather) then we know who we need to contact (share your mobile number).

 A reply to Rides@robert-hind.com will let the whole group know. At the very least a courtesy message to the nominated Ride organiser is requested. Emails are usually fine ..but if you're letting us know fairly late an sms might work best.

Organisers mobile tel: 0417 934 502
Ride style: Social
Ride type: Road
Terrain: Mainly flat
Estimated Distance: 50 kms
Start Place: Maylands Railway Station, Narrows (South)
Start Time: 8:00 am, 8:30 am

We'll meet at Maylands at 8:00 or the Narrows (South side) at 8:30.  We'll ride down the Freeway bike path, then detour along the Roe Highway bike path before turning back to Denada at  Brentwood or Deep Water Point for coffee. After coffee we'll head back to the Narrows.

We used to call this ride the Roe Highway jaunt but the last time the group did this route there were so many punctures we've re-named it the "anti-inflationary" ride!!

We will include a split for the more energetic to have a faster burst.
