Fun cycling the week of the Tour Down Under





26th January Mayors breakfast Ride

11 riders on the breakfast ride. Headed out toward happy valley road to Lincoln highway and down the hill via some back roads to Mortlock terrace then back to the foreshore. Great ride back to the Mayor’s breakfast. Dene was bike security while everyone was at the breakfast. Thanks Dene.

20th November Coffin bay to Avoid bay

Raelene’s Point Avoid Ride

On Sunday morning we all met at 9am at Coffin Bay town jetty for a ride to the National Park and eventual end destination of Point Avoid. It was great to have Dene, Max, Jo and Mary ride to Templetonia Lookout. A first for Max and a wonderful achievement for Dene, Well done!
Jo was on her Bike Friday and as it was Sunday - it became a Sunday Funday. Mary was happy to ride as monitor for safety for the day on her new Trek Maddone 5.2, it’s a beautiful looking machine, and goes like crazy!
The group rested at Templetonia until we all arrived and then the rest of us took off to the bottom of the
hill and left UP the hill toward Point Avoid.
Congratulations to Caroline who achieved the climb with the verbal encouragement
from Peggy, Terry and Raelene - a great effort as this was the first time since her first ever ride and it was a different story!
Dave found that he could wait for the slow one, - he doesn't think he could ride as slow as me uphills. It was great to see Ann Lord out on her mountain bike, Mig on a road bike going for the distance training for the Tour Down Under, along with Brian Ashton, and the rest of the team. Pat and Marie obviously benefitted from their recent walking tour O/S as they had no problems rolling over the hills. Richard was hard to keep under speed, but we are used to that! I am sure that I saw him coming back from Golden Island lookout before he actually got to the morning tea stop at Point Avoid. It was great to have Kingsley with a sumptuous morning tea laid out courtesy of Murray Business Solutions, with the clubs new chairs to sit and enjoy the view across the water. The morning tea was a thank you for members who attended a recent event at the Lincoln Hotel.
