This is a weekly ride after work, finishing off with Dinner and Drinks at BAR AFRICA Cnr of William Pikering Dr and Omega Place, Albany. Anyone who cannot come/not keen on riding is still very welcome to join us at the pub for a social get-together 8.30pm onwards (bring your car if you wish..)......
The route will be discussed on the night at the pre-ride briefing. The ATNR is known to the Police, so if you wish to do 140+ speeds, I would suggest you go and do it somewhere else....... For those concerned about distance/time the ride will last for approx 1hr - 1half and is around 70kms long. We start at Westgate and finish up at Albany. The route is changed from time to time depending on group numbers and road conditions.
With Winter riding, it is best practise to use clear visors - please keep the tints/iridium's for the summer riding! We will be riding in the dark, don't ya know! Wrap up warm, as you are at the risk of getting fatigued faster by the cold.
If it is raining, there is a good chance it will be cancelled. However quite a few riders will still meet up at BAR AFRICA for a natter and game of pool.
