Saturday Jan 25, 2014 - Life Cycle for CanTeen familiarisation ride

Ride Organiser: Robert Hind
Organiser's email: rides@robert-hind.com
Organiser's mobile telephone no: 0417 934 502
Ride style: Social
Terrain: Mainly Flat
Estimated Distance: To be determined on the day
Start Point: Maylands, Narrows - South Side
Start Time: Maylands 7:30, Narrows 8:00


This Saturday we'll combine our ride with a familiarisation ride for Life Cycle for CanTeen [OnRoad] (the first of three familiarisation rides).

Since these rides usually involve riders of different capacities we'll gauge how far riders want to go on the day. In the past there have typically been a couple of different groups ...different distances and speeds but usually with a common coffee stop.

Saturday January 18, 2014 - Friendly Freo

Ride Organiser: Robert Hind
Organiser's email: rides@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 - North Side
Start Time: Maylands 7:00, Narrows 7:30

**** Note - Early start due to high temperatures forecast  ****

We'll do the old familiar "Friendly Freo" with the usual obligatory coffee stop (in Fremantle). We'll have the usual Maylands Railway Station start at 7:00 am then hook up at the Narrows. The ride will start from the Narrows Bridge (North Side - where the bike path goes under the freeway bridge) at 7:30 am

If I go for a ride at all on Saturday it will be early (partly because we've got guests staying with us and partly to avoid the heat) so I won't join the ride ...but who knows we might see you at coffee.

Saturday Jan 11, 2014 - Reverse Freo and Cottesloe swim

Ride Organiser: Francis
Organiser's email: francis.vivier@iinet.net.au
Organiser's mobile telephone no: 0403 236 439 
Ride style: Social
Terrain: Mainly Flat
Estimated Distance: 65 kms+
Start Point: Maylands, Narrows - South Side
Start Time: Maylands 7:00, Narrows 7:30

We had originally planned to do a moutain bike ride on the heritage trail 
but with the forecast for a scorching 44 we'll do a "reverse freo" instead, by popular request.  We'll have the usual Maylands Railway Station start at 7:00 am then hook up at the Narrows (South Side). The ride will start from the Narrows Bridge (South Side - near the old Kiosk) at 7:30 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 where the plan is to have a swim.

Please bring a bicycle lock, your bathers and a towel
