where's your route ? abernethy rd after nicholson ? what time ?Baalzamon wrote:One road I don't like riding on is Mundijong Rd. No shoulder and cars doing 100kph makes for a stressful ride. My hills ride when I was doing it was about 4hrs round trip doing 100km, but I've been off the bike past few weeks.
It does get easier tho

I'm new to the Baldivis area and looking for some rides out Jarrahdale/Serpentine way, are you able to link me to say a google maps or map my ride page that has the course you ride in this area set out? It would be much appreciated.
Also, if you're looking for company on the rides, I would be keen for a spin!
Cheers

Which way did you go up to Jarradale? Did you head up Jarrahdale road or thru Byford and up Nettleton rd?dino1969 wrote:Just got back from my first attempt Cockburn to Jarrahdale!First of all I would like to place my respect on record to those of you that do hill riding regularly! : Though I enjoyed this ride immensely I had a few things I could have done better!

Personally, I like up Jarrahdale and down either Nettleton or down Kingsbury drive.
Either way, its a nice ride and well worth the Jarrahburger at half way
Hills hurt but couches KILL!

Have a guernsey around bikely.com; search some of the place names and it should return routes that mention them.lynskey_rider wrote:I'm new to the Baldivis area and looking for some rides out Jarrahdale/Serpentine way, are you able to link me to say a google maps or map my ride page that has the course you ride in this area set out?

Both clubagreenie and I have been off our bikes for 3 weeks so not for a few more weeks whilst I get my legs back.Dobo wrote:Hey lynskey_rider I live in Baldivis too and was thinking about starting some Hills rides soon. i'm very happy to ride along with you if you're interested. Also I think Baalzamon and Clubagreenie go up there fairly regularly on saturday mornings from around Kwinana area I think.

Sounds great to me! Shoot us a PM when you get a chance and we can sort something out. My legs are pretty average by the weekend after a week of a 50km + loop of commuting, but im up for it none the less!

And for those with GPS there's a segment up Jarrahdale Rd on RideWithGPS.com that needs a bit of loving. The climb from the South West Hwy up to the intersection with Nettleton Rd. 5.4km and 171m climbing.

It goes down Read Rd to Safety Bay Rd (collects riders at the cycle path) then heads south on the PSP and collects more riders coming up from Mandurah. The ride then goes along Karnup Rd heading east and goes up Kingsbury Drive. Regroup at the top.
Then to Jarrahdale (stop again at the Jarrahdale store) and down Nettleton. Regroup at the servo at the bottom of the hill.
Then back west via Orton Rd (this is great with the easterly at your back - 40kph no problemo) which is the safest road by far in the area and back to Rockingham through Wellard.
All up about 125kms averaging about 30kph for the total ride (though the last one was very quick at 32kph - thank goodness I wasn't there LOL). This weekend it increases in distance to 150kms.
This will happen every Saturday until the Dams Challenge.
