The Riders Club

It was nine on time and feeling fine this morning as we lined up for Chevin Road aka Mills Road East! A little warmer than last week but with a little more wind around. We welcomed back Peter Feller and Marty today. Good to have you both back! We headed out via the normal Albany Hwy route. Uneventful in terms of any issues with everyone giving their best on the MR East climb. While re-grouping on Canning Mills Road I am pleased to announce that we found Pam! For those uninformed, Pam went missing in Cottesloe many years ago and has now resurfaced! Good to see you Pam! From here we were treated to a Towie Tour! A different spin on things and taking some new roads in, this turned out to be a good route, one to repeat! As is customary while in the area our coffee stop was Hidden (Hidden Cafe) Cafe. Hard to fault anything today (or ever really !). I am going for 5/5 Cogs! We headed out to head back to home base. It was a case of “what the heller, Peter Feller!” As Pete powered through the back streets. Perhaps buoyed up by the thought of an Elmars sausage and beer with Andrew 0! All up though we made some good time heading back. A good day out for all today!

Until next week

Ride Smart. Ride Safe.

Seven Winter ready riders turned up today ( seven at the Car Park - we were later joined by Erick on the Zig Zag of all places!). It’s not Winter yet but it is coming! Eagerly waiting riders in the Car Park this morning reported temperatures of approx. 2 Deg C!! It was no time for standing around and Holmes Rd/Kalamunda Rd ( yes, El Pres forgot about this one!) lay in wait! There was a little wind around today which kept conditions somewhat brisk! There was a solid effort from all with no incidents to report. We made our way round and back to Lathlain for coffee at The Kettle Cafe (Kettle Cafe, Lathlain Place). Humming as usual, we were afforded a seat inside and as we have come to expect, we received speedy service . The coffee and food are always good at the Kettle and it could not be faulted today - 5/5 Cogs!! Today’s coffee stop lasted a little longer as we reunited with former TRC rider Steve Scaffidi who is making a come back to riding with a very nice looking ( and riding - thanks Steve !) Yeoleo bike . As Napoleon Dynamite would say: it’s a sweet ride! We also caught up with Kelly who is slowing working his torn hamstring in. Glad to see you both today! All done, it was time to exit stage left and head home! A brisk, solid day out for all!

Until next week
