Saturday September 15, 2012 - Mediocrity Ride

Ride Organiser: Robert Hind

Organisers mobile tel: 0417 934 502Ride style: Social

Alan Perkins introduced to the "Mediocrity Ride" in April. It was, well "ok" (according to half the group). Some said the ride was really good ...but that was thanks only to the weather. Some said the ride was perhaps, "possibly repeatable". So we've decided to repeat it.

The "Mediocrity Ride" features ideas carefully pilfered from other people, and offers something to most. It is the ride rated "OK" by 5 out of 10 people! If you're excited about this ride ...DON'T BE ...you've missed the point!

Starting at Narrows - Southside, the "Mediocrity Ride" is a leisurely 50 km tour, via Kwinana Freeway and Mount Henry bridge, of the Riverton environs with a coffee stop at Lo Quay cafe, before returning via South Perth to the Narrows. The terrain is mainly flat with some gentle hills; uses a mixture of cycle paths and roads,and intersperses faster stretches with slower, more technical sections.

Alan anticipates an 8.30 am start from the Narrows (South side), with the "over achievers" having the option of a 8:00 departure from Maylands.
