**** Summer start time - 8:00 am ****


This week's ride is a hilly ride starting at 8:00 am from the library at the corner of Scott St and Great Eastern Hway, Koongamia. 

It has been well over a year since we included this route in our schedule, and a lot longer since I've done it. The hills make it one of our less popular rides but it is an essential inclusion in a balanced ride calendar and good for all round riding skills and strength.

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.
