as there was some destruction of the group last week, we will split the pack this week and send the fast group over ridgehill so that they can expend a bit of excess energy. i want the group to stay together all through shep rd and welshpool as well as hale rd. hale is only 1 lane so we need to keep the group together for safety. if you watched a current affair (it may have only been over here) there was a story on cyclists and how much of a menace we were. keep together and obey the road rules.
once the group hits kalamunda rd, the fast group goes straight at the lights while the main group turns left to head back to guilford. make sure you know the route (especially the fast group or you will be heading up gooseberry by mistake). if by some chance the fast group catches the main group, do not merge the groups together. last time some of the fast boys got to the front of the main group and started pushing the pace. this made it hard for everyone as some people struggled while others then couldn’t get around to the front. keep them separate and overtake when safe, or if no chance to do so, both groups go single file and the fast overtake the main.
on sunday, a nice pleasant ride through parkerville and mundaring weir.
also thanks to jonny and mark for writing up the rides last week. don’t be shy and we would like to hear your view of the ride. if you are hanging on to the back and are struggling the whole way, it is fine. people like to read your experience. it is not a race so there are no winners therefore everyone’s view is important. if you want to blog, let me know.
Well I will be there to help lead the troops over Ridge Hill and catch the rabbits down Guildford 🙂
Cant do sunday as racing around and around technology park doing Renaes race.
See everyone there Sat:) Have we got some takers to lead the rabbits once they turn off onto Kalamunda road??
Hey guys, just like to mention that I’m heading back to Canberra this weekend and that it was really nice to join your rides. I hope to see some of you at the Australian Masters Champs in Canberra this year!

Pete what on earth were you doing watching current affairs it’s the biggest load of complete b@ll*cks of a cheap waste of space TV show ever created. Sorry i’m a big Chaser’s war fan so jump at any excuse to ridicule current affairs shows. I will try not to be a menace and I hope as a car breaks my carbon fibre into a million pieces none of the shards scratch there precious paintwork.
I am currently in negotiations to join you guys on Sat am. If successful I will happily lead the rabbits
Good luck with the negotiations hopefully it can all be sorted without getting Ban Ki-moon involved. I will be a rabbit too tried the cleats this week but the hip still wants to misbehave so back to the trainers.
I shall try my luck with the fast boys on Saturday…
I should hopefully have sufficient items of cycling clothing left to wear despite a large proportion of my “velo couture” being stolen from my car on Wednesday night!
New shoes and cleats fitted today cheered me up no end and, after an unprogrammed 2 day taper, I should be raring to go for tomorrow ride and Renae’s race on Sunday!
Guys I injured my shoulder last weekend while travelling so will not be joining you on the saturday ride with the rabbits – run bunnies run…….
I could go out tonight and spread some tacks on Ridge Hill road?
