Garmin 520

All

As you know I recently bought the last model of the Garmin 520 as its been superseded and most of the online stores are running it out. Dan has spotted the unit at a crazy price on Kogan in case anyone needs a new computer.

BG News - Well Done Jacob Bos

All
Jacob Bos rode in the Junior Road Nationals road race in Bunbury,  Western Australia at the weekend.

It was a lumpy course and the pace was ballistic with an average speed of 34.6 km/h. Jacob managed a creditable 30th place out of 60 just failing to make the break on the last climb despite putting in an amazing effort. His time was 1:06:22.383 over 39 km

On Sunday Jacob entered the criterium and has just made the final, averaging 37 km/h in qualifying in a time of 20:28:704. A very proud father John says that Jacob was stuffed but looking forward to the final.

Update
I have checked the results of the criterium final this afternoon and Jacob registered a DNF in what looked from the results like a blindingly fast final. Well done making the final.

Well Done! Jacob 

Sunday Ride - Roads Less Traveled

This Sunday is the Roads less traveled ride. This one snuck up on me so I didnt have a chance to canvas route options. So I propose we head to Cudlee Creek and do some of the roads less traveled from there. This will give those returning to the Hills a chance to come out. 

• Meet in the City at 8:00 am, or
• At the Tower Hotel carpark at 8:30 am  

Sunday Ride - Outer Harbor via Port Rd - City to Bay

This Sunday's Ride is a Beach Ride that also coincides with City to Bay fun run.

Hence we will be using the Port Road route and a alternate coffee stop. The suggestion is we give Baker Edge on West beach road a try.

Meet 8:00 am in the City
Coffee tentatively at Bakers Edge, 9 West Beach rd

Note: we will need to get to Port Rd via War Memorial drive so please be prompt.

PS: Good luck to the BG's who are leaving the wheels behind this Sunday and running to Glenelg.
