G'day

I am planning to ride from Fremantle to the Freeway and then south as far as the bike path goes (Baldvis?) and return Sunday morning. Will leave Freo at 6:00 AM.

If anyone wants to come along you are welcome to come as long as you are behind me in the Fit Gits on Bikes ranking. Nah just kidding. Anyone is welcome to come along.

I have not been down the Freeway bike path in the last month but the path was due to be closed because of the new highway construction. I don't know when the closure is due but it may already be closed.

hmmm - I might well be interested in meeting you along the way (say at the Roe Highway intersection). I will have to check it out on mapmyride and see just how far it is!

City to Baldivis return is about 90km if that helps Stephen. It is a nice ride and great if you time the sea breeze

Just checked it out and it seems from my place in Parkwood to Baldivis would be about the same, maybe a little less. I have done part of that route in the past but never all of it - tempting....

It has been closed near the end of the freeway. There is another posting here on the topic. That said I did indicate that the ride would be as far as we can go ... it is just a social ride so I am not bothered by the closure.

Sounds good Stephen. Let me know what you decide and a good meeting time for you.

Yeah I'm keen. I too will be keen to join up at Roe Highway as I live near Stephen. What time?

by **Aushiker** » Wed Jan 30, 2008 11:55 am

Great Cambo. Lets make it 6:45 AM for a sharp 7:00 AM departure at Roe Highway intersection. That allows for me sleeping in, missing a turning or three etc getting there

.

For those interested I will head along South Street and pick up the Freeway at the South Street intersection.

Graeme are you interested in coming along? Anyone else?

I will be riding a grey Giant CRX 1 flatbar.

I have a couple of mates that, like me, are just getting into the cycling thing and will be keen to ride along I'm sure.

At the moment I'm interested, though the wife stared daggers at me last Sunday when I didn't get to the surf life saving club to help with the kids in the water .... :oops:

So I'll say a tentative yes for now.

Which intersection are you talking about meeting at? Where the Roe Hwy itself meets the Kwinana bike path? (ie where we turned off the path that time you rode with me? I think it's the end of Hope Rd ....)

Cheers,
Graeme

That sounds good to me.

Yeah iam in

by **Kalgrm** » Wed Jan 30, 2008 9:09 pm

It's now looking like only a slim chance of me being able to make it. Sorry guys ....

I'll say no right now, and if I get there you'll see me.

Cheers,
Graeme :cry:

Would love to come along but flying out to Chicago on Sat morning. I'll be freezing my n&ts off by Sunday! :oops:

Will be taking pictures of snow for the kids (they've never seen snow!).

Cheers,

Gary

You have to be kidding me, after all these weeks of dry the weather forecast for Sunday is:

Sunday Possible shower or thunderstorm. Min 23 Max 34

Of course what are the chances of it actually raining....

by **Funkymonk** » Thu Jan 31, 2008 4:21 pm

possible shower , if not fine , could be windy ,if not still , the sun will be up otherwise an unschedualed eclipse

weather boffins ... really .... they look out the window like the rest of us and hope for the best :lol:

I'll try and make it... 7 at Roe Highway?

by **Aushiker** » Sat Feb 02, 2008 10:50 am

G'day

7 at Roe Highway/Freeway intersection on the bike path. I should be there a bit earlier on my flatbar ....

Unless of course you want to ride from Freo

Andrew

by **Funkymonk** » Sat Feb 02, 2008 6:38 pm

What time you planning to head down Roe Highway and do you go past Whaleback Golf Course?

Fremantle for me ... I think others are riding to Roe Highway.

Sounds good. We will leave Roe HIghway at 7:00 AM sharp. Not sure what time we will hit Thomas Road but. Maybe keep an eye out and yell when we fly pass

Andrew

by **Funkymonk** » Sat Feb 02, 2008 11:48 pm

I will leave my place at 6am and use the ride to Roe Hwy as my warm up , then go to Baldivas and back up to Thomas road and head off

see you all at the Roe :wink:
