The Riders Club

TRC pulling a Hat Trick today with the 3rd weekend in a row with 9 starters. It was a little difficult to tell who was present as everyone was covered from head to toe as it was…bloody freezing! We had Pickering Brook waiting - even colder!! We set off to avoid actual freezing and had a pretty good run to Brookton Hwy with low winds. The Brookton Hwy climb was also a good run until we reached the Petrol Station turn off. Here, Craige realised he definitely had flat shifter batteries as he was unable to shift to the small chain ring on the climb ( do they still have these?😂). “Battery Brad” - Elliott was on hand with not one but two 2032 flat batteries ( channeling Towie??). Unfortunately the problem ( not certain what it was in the end) persisted and as such we bid farewell to Craige for the day. Moving forward we made our way through Korang National Park which just has to be one of the coldest places in Perth!! ( seriously!🥶). We headed toward the Coffee Club Kalamunda (The Coffee Club Kalamunda) for our stop today. Welcomed by all, it did not disappoint. The photos tell the story! Having to hold true to the rating, it was another 5/5 Cog rating for the CC! All done, we once again got moving and faced the initial cold rush as we headed down the Zig Zag. Some went their own way with the rest heading back to the store. A very cold but clear, blue sky, sunny day. Winter is coming!

Until next week

Ride Smart. Ride Safe.
