Looks like we might be light for numbers this weekend and with the ride organiser for the mediocrity ride in doubt we'll instead do a Pt Walter ride (and re-schedule the mediocrity ride for the following weekend).

We'll have the usual starts (Maylands and Narrows South) and coffee stop on the way back in Ardross (most likely Sensations on Ardross).

Let me know if you're planning to join us.

Friends of Cathi Dixon - Movie Fundraisers

Hi friends of Cathi!

A couple of movie screenings have been organised to try fundraise for our lovely Cathi... there are two choices:

The Bourne Legacy - Friday the 24th of August at 6.45pm at Innaloo Event Cinemas. To book go to: http://www.trybooking.com/BUAG

Moonrise kingdom - Friday the 31st of August at 7pm at Luna Leederville. To book go to: http://www.trybooking.com/BTIB

Please pass this on to all your friends!

All profits we make from these movies will be given to Cathi to help her in her recovery!

A bit of a quick background for those who don’t know the story:
Cathi’s dream cycling trip in France turned into a disaster – she had a crash down a mountain resulting in concussion, bruising and injuries as well as bad spinal damage. She was airlifted to a Hospital in Paris and was kept there for a while before she was able to have back surgery to assist with her crushed vertebrae. She is slowly recovering and arrive back in Perth on Friday August 17 (a long flight for someone who can’t sit longer than an hour but she has a nurse travelling with her which hopefully will help). Cathi was taken straight to Shenton Park Hospital and still has a lot of work to do to recover.

Throughout this whole ordeal Cathi has been a real trooper considering she is in a lot of pain and has had no family with her in a foreign country!

Sunday August 11, 2012 - [OffRoad] familiarisation ride

Our next Life Cycle for CanTeen [OffRoad] familiarisation ride is on Sunday August 12 starting at 8:30am.

The ride will start from the corner of Darlington Road and Glen Road – at the former Darlington railway station – there is ample parking.

Our leader will be Francis (fresh back from watching some of the Tour de France) and he will also tell you a little of the history of the Heritage Trail.

Francis says...

I will start the ride a bit differently from the usual Heritage trail ride:

+ we will start by going on the trail down to the Pines;

+ down Benong Rd

+ down Maslin Crescent

+ down Glen Road

+ on Victor Road

+ then on some bush track past some old quarries

+ eventually to join back to the Heritage Trail on Coulston Rd to cycle down to Bellevue

- On the way back I propose to shortcut at Stoneville Rd to go back to Mundaring – yes it is a long climb, but we will cut a number of kilometres for the people unfamiliar with mountain biking, anyway I will ask at the start of the ride.

We hope to see lots of you there again this time, but can't promise such fine weather as last time.

PLEASE REMEMBER TO LET JENNY KNOW IF YOU'RE PLANNING TO JOIN THE RIDE
