Saturday Dec 28, 2013 - Terry attempts new fashion

John and Terry get close while Terry models his head wear. I'm not sure this is going to result in a new fashion and it certainly isn't approved cycling gear!

Saturday - Dec 28, 2013 - last ride of the year

We enjoyed breakfast at the South Beach Cafe as part of Ken's "Alternate Freo Ride"...our last Ride_Group ride for 2013. A busy cafe that offered great value for money ("We'll be back!!").

Saturday December 14, 2013 - Reverse Freo

Ride Organiser: Robert Hind
Organiser's email: Robert@robert-hind.com
Organiser's mobile telephone no: 0417 934 502
Ride style: Social
Terrain: Mainly Flat
Estimated Distance: 65 kms+
Start Point: Maylands, Narrows - South Side
Start Time: Maylands 7:30, Narrows 8:00

We had originally planned to do an Armadale Ride but with the forecast for a scorching 37C we'll do a "reverse freo" instead, by popular request.  We'll have the usual Maylands Railway Station start at 7:30 am then hook up at the Narrows (South Side). The ride will start from the Narrows Bridge (South Side - near the old Kiosk) at 8:00 am.

We'll take the bike path to Mt Henry Bridge then weave through Riverton towards Marmion Street and on towards Freo. Depending on how energetic the group is feeling we may deviate to ride up Le Souffe in Kardinya. We'll have a coffee stop in Freo (venue to be agreed) and return via Cottesloe.

Sunday Dec 15, Wheelie Good Day

Hi All......Christmas is getting very close!
I hope some of you can be available to attend the event I have created  (see image below or click here to download/view poster). 
It will be great to see any of your faces on the day, bringing a child with their decorated bike would be great.
Do not stress though, just bring yourself and have a coffee(cafe on site) and even picnic if you like.
If you are brave you will bring and decorate your bike too! (O.K.  O.K.  ...............I will bring mine!)

Hope to see you.....cheers, 
Nigel

Saturday Dec 7, 2013 - Darlings To Darlington?

Ride Organiser: Francis Vivier

Organiser's email: francis.vivier@iinet.net.au

Organiser's mobile telephone no: 0403 236 439

Ride style: Social

Terrain: Some Hills

Estimated Distance: 45 to 50 kms

Start Time: 7:30 am & 8:00 am

Start Place: Narrows South; Maylands Railway Station

We will travel to Bassendean taking the back roads of Ashfield and Bassendean, over the river in Guildford, then through Bellevue, Koongamia, Boya, and we will climb Coulston Rd to arrive in Darlington to have breakfast. I am still deciding where to have our coffee break. We could visit a couple of art galleries.

For the return, we will go down via Glen Rd, Victor Rd and Clayton Rd to arrive in Helena Valley. To continue via Hazelmere, Guildford, we will travel along the cycle path through Bassendean, Bayswater and finally Maylands.

I estimate the distance to be about 45 to 50 kms with one major hill, but no very steep bit! ... famous last words.

Are we going to attract some of the climbers back to this ride?

Note I will start from Maylands
