****** Summer Start Time ******

Since we're going to be short on some  of the "usual suspects", including Terry who had suggested a Hills Ride and as requested (by the hills avoiders?) we'll do the old familiar "Friendly Freo" with the usual obligatory coffee stop (in Fremantle) instead of the previously posted Hills Ride.. We'll have the usual Maylands Railway Station start at 7:30 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 8:00 am.
