This week's ride is a hilly ride starting at 8:30 am. from the corner of Scott St and Great Eastern Hway, Koongamia.

We'll take the back streets to Mundaring via a series of fairly short hills, then cycle past the weir to Kalamunda. The hill on the Kalamunda side of the weir and the last few km into Kalamunda are the big challenges of the ride. Morning tea will be at Le Croissant. We'll head back to the start via Gooseberry Hill and the zig-zags.

I'm nuirsing a bad back and most likely won't ride myself so please reply to Rides@robert-hind.com

RideNstyle Closing Down Sale

Maurizio Petrocchi is well known in Perth Cycling circles and the huge number of cycling trophies he has in his collection is a sight to see.

Many will remember the shop he had for years in Cottesloe on Stirling Highway. For the last couple of years Maurizio has operated his shop at 409 Oxford Street, Mt Hawthorn.

There isn't anywhere else in Perth that specialises in Cycling clothing. There is a huge range of high quality products and some brands that you just can't get hold of elsewhere.

Maurizio is planning to close the business and retire .. so it is well worth having a look at his shop and treating yourself. Don't expect bargain basement pricing.. but there is plenty of high quality stuff at better than usual prices.
