In the past week, a few people have requested a hills ride on Friday. For those doing the 3/5 dams, or anyone wanting a long hills ride, I’m proposing meeting at the car park at 6 am, then heading out. The course is open for discussion and the following options may be considered:
1. The 3 dams course
2. Down Albany Hwy and pick up the 5 dams course going past Wungong and Canning Dams, then down to Serpentine and home (will be a long ride)
3. Another recommendation
I’m guessing there wil be limited shops open for supplies but we shouild be able to pick up water. There is also the Easter holiday traffic to consider – Albany Hwy may be busy. I’m happy to discuss suggestions and we can finalise the route on Thursday.
Seems no one is interested?
I think the 3 Dams option would be best as this keeps us off busy roads (ie, Albany Hwy) and doesn’t take us too far afield. The roads around Jarrahdale & Serpentine are quite lonely and isolated. Also, that end of the route isn’t as interesting either.
Any other takers?
I would love to join you but I am heading away for the weekend on Thursday night.
I would be keen if you were doing a lap of the tour de perth stage 3 course. which is pretty much a mundaring weer loop.
I’d be a goer for the Tour de Perth stage too. Rode it a couple of weeks ago with Jono and Andy W (Team Dome) and it’s a nice ride – more or less the 3 Dams in reverse, the northern end. Good climbing if you throw in Kalamunda.
A mate and myself are in. Our preference is 3 dams. Got to get used to grinding the freeway path home. An option could be to refuel (hopefully) in both Kalamunda and Armadale. It’ll mean adding on a few Ks up and down Mundaring Weir Rd. Or we can scrap Wungong dam instead. I’ll try and call Coles Express at the top of Mundaring Weir Rd in Kalamunda tmrw to see if they will be open.
OK. The 3 dams course it is (with optional by-pass into Kalamunda). 6 am at the car park. See you there.
Groovy. See you there.
I’m in too (!?)
