Friday - September 26 - Subiaco to Fremantle Ride

[Aushiker]

G'day

Myself and Graeme will be meeting up in Subiaco at 5:15 PM and then riding to the Freeway, Narrows and then south to Canning Highway and then across roughly following the river to Fremantle.

If any one wants to join us either for the full ride or parts of it, you are most welcome. We can easily meet at Subiaco, southern end of the narrows (near the toilets?) or the Raffles/Canning Bridge. Graeme will be riding in from Fremantle, so maybe happy to meet up with any riders wanting to do the full circuit.

If you are interested do let us know to look out for you.

I may actually ride in earlier in the afternoon for a meeting, but I'll update as the time comes closer.

This is a good opportunity to compare lights too.

Cheers,
Graeme

yippee, this is the day my cast comes off....but I somehow think a ride to Freo might be a trifle ambitious.

[chuckchunder]

what sort of pace are we talking? i'd be on my way home from the airport..... could join in from the narrows or environs....

[Kalgrm]

Good question. I don't know - Andrew has his Look 555, so he's going to be fast .

I'd guess about 30 - 35km/h. Would that be right Andrew?

Cheers,
Graeme

Is this ride on Friday? Or is it on the 25th?

I'm kinda game, I've been off the bike for about 2 weeks with the flu, so would fancy a ride.

[Kalgrm]

Good point Beeblub,

It's Friday, not the 25th. Gotta excuse Andrew - he's an academic ...

(I've been in and changed it now. It's fun to be a mod. )

Cheers,
Graeme

Thanks Graeme. In my defence I have never suggested I could read a calendar

The speed sounds reasonable but really depends on who comes along and the weather.

not sure how i'll go finishing at work - a lot to get through tomorrow afternoon - if i manage to get down towards the narrows in time i'll look out for you

[Kalgrm]

Hmmm - not sure if I want to do it now - they are forecasting afternoon thunderstorms and rain periods. If I'm out for a recreational ride, I don't want to do it in the rain. I know, I know, HTFU and all that, but I don't need to display testosterone to be happy ....

Andrew, I'll give you a call tomorrow afternoon to let you know if I'll definitely be there or if I'll be home with a mug of chocolate and some nice warm slippers.

Cheers,
Graeme

[chuckchunder]

oh right, hadn't looked at the forecast...... am still feeling soggy from the ride home tonight....

[Aushiker]

Andrew, I'll give you a call tomorrow afternoon to let you know if I'll definitely be there or if I'll be home with a mug of chocolate and some nice warm slippers.

Given the weather and the forecast I assume you will be dragging yourself away from the chocolate and hence will see you at the normal Subi meeting place at 5:15 PM unless I hear otherwise you gallant knight on your yellow steed

Chuck, should we expect to meet with you enroute?

Andrew

[chuckchunder]

sorry andrew, i don't get to look at anything other than work at work....

i did head that way, but i didn't make the narrows till 5.45, figured you guys were long gone... hope your ride was as enjoyable as mine : )

[Kalgrm]

Yep, it was a good ride, but we ended up going via Cottelsoe.

First time back on the bent in a few weeks and I'm buggered! Gotta get my 'bent legs back ....

You are buggered? Gee whiz I thought I was the one working bloody hard and you where cruising

Paid for it this morning ... see the Bike Force thread.
