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.
