Ambos on site & didn't look too bad.
Bit of a surprise that someone riding past felt the need to blurt out that people ride too fast and they deserved it (WT)
Have enough trouble with motorists without us turning on each other.

i only take alexander dr on the weekends, and usually very quiet at that time as you would assume on a weekend.wicksey wrote:What's the traffic on Alexander like at the time of the morning.. Safe enough?
I normally take mirrabooka ave/flinders/charles between 6.30-7. and its busy, but not to bad. There are some narrow sections to be wary of, ie dogswamp lights

my commutes have started later, im now travelling between 630-7am mirrabooka>flinders>charles>city
At about 415 ill be on the St Georges Tce in front of the central park building usually waiting for my garmin to hook up with the satellite, a good few mins just sitting there near the lights. Then its HorseShoe>Roe>Fiztgerald>Alexander>Grand Prom>Yirrigan>Mirrabooka
Im on a purple/green retro cannondale running Di2 with 80mm carbons.
Also have been running into a '613am' cycling group on saturday mornings recently, usually join them on stirling hwy just before north perth then i peel off back to curtain ave. Anyone know these guys?

Yeah, you have.
I bought some arm / leg warmers off you just as it was getting colder last year.
Your bike is looking sweet, mate!
See you out there.

I chased a guy on a camo SS and another guy on a Trek on Monday, but got separated at Cranford Ave and couldn't catch them back up.
You on here by any chance Mr iTunes? Already gave kudos on Strava. Trek guy musn't be a user.

I do recall someone calling out to me after they had passed by about 5 metres. I think there were three or four passing me at the time.shutuplegs wrote:Good to see Colin our local uni-cyclist this morning! I was on the yellow bike with the Fly6 and gave you a quick wave between Canning and Narrows.
A lot of the group rides tend to fly along that section early but I did not see that many this morning. A pity as the temperature and stillness was really comfortable. It was pretty much mostly wet track the whole way but it was from earlier I never saw a drop of rain fall.
