11TH ANNUAL COTTESLOE EXHIBITION
Sculpture by the Sea returns to Cottesloe Beach, Perth, Western Australia. 70 local, interstate and international artists will transform Perth's most popular beach into a stunning sculpture park overlooking the Indian Ocean with some of the most glorious sunsets of any major city in the world. It's one of the world's largest free to the public events.!

We'll view the exhibition on our way to Fremantle for our coffee stop and return via Pt Walter and Canning Bridge.

Saturday March 7, 2015 - any suggested ride?

Many of our Ride_Group members will be away for the Life Cycle for CanTeen [OnRoad] 2015 ride.

We can still schedule a ride for those who aren't doing Life Cycle. Just let me know the ride details and I'll post a message.

Saturday February 21, 2015 - Life Cycle for CanTeen [OnRoad] - practice ride #03

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: 40 or 55 kms?
Start Point: Narrows - South Side
Start Time: Maylands 7:30, Narrows 8:00

Note - Mandurah ride re-scheduled for Saturday Feb 28, 2015.

Ride_Group members are invited to join us for a Life Cycle for CanTeen [OnRoad] familiarisation ride on Saturday. 

We'll meet at the Narrows. South at 8:00 am.

The actual route and distance will be determined by consensus depending on who turns up. Our last Practice ride from the Narrow involved a split in to two groups with the slower group doing going from the Narrows to Point Walter via Canning Bridge and the second, faster group taking a longer route (via Freo).

We'll probably try and do something different this time.

There had been discussion about including a stop in at Cafe Gelato in Vic Park either as coffee stop during the ride or as an optional stop after but I'm not sure how to fit this in.
