Put it in a sock!

You've all heard the "put a sock in it". Now it is worth considering "put it in a sock".

The former was of course a reference to putting a sock in the mouth of someone who wouldn't shut up. The latter is a reference to a new idea where by you put your bike wheels in a "sock" to avoid dirty wheels making a mess in your car, apartment, office place etc.

Since I understand only John turned up last week ..we'll re-schedule for this Saturday.

The usual start, along the Freeway Bike Path then onto the Roe Highway Bike Path to Orrong Road. From Orrong Road return on Roe Hwy path to Railway Pde exit. Follow railway to Oats St, then Oats/Gabriel to Abernethy, Fairbrother, Belgravia, Grandstand. Cross the river and follow the river via Maylands to East Perth, Causeway and Narrows.

We can stop at Tomato Lake in Oats St (which proved to have a great value menu last time) or next to Tranby House or at East Perth in the inlet just south of the Windan Bridge.

I won't be riding again this weekend (maybe a gentle ride the week after?) so please respond to Rides@robert-hind.com.

In the event that for whatever reason  (weather?) you decide not to ride please let others who have indicated they're riding know ... so they don't wait for you or turn up when no one else does!!
