Hello scan

Good to have another Perth rider on the forum. There are several other Western Australians here.

Where do you usually ride? Do you ride with a group?

I look forward to hearing more from you in the future.

(Just a hint - If you take the time to use a little punctuation in your posts you'll find that you will get you message across a lot more clearly. Just use caps where needed and throw in a few full stops and it'll make your posts a lot easier to read.)

Hello and welcome. It's very good to see you conserving punctuation marks - I hear they are endangered in some bio-spheres.

There's a few others out your way...

Enjoy!

[edit: MediaCreations beat me too it :) ]

yeah english grammar not so good either.Ride alone ,like to ride alone but if a group rides past i normally hop onto the back (keen on a free lunch).Start ride Baldivis south,ride northbound turn around at Burswood and fight the seabreeze home.I hope my punctuation has improved thanks for the tip.

Yes two people have commented on my punctuation.Will make it more clearer in future.

Hey scan - I know that tomorrow is going to be wet and wild but I'm going to be part of a group riding from Baldivis to South Perth along the bike path and back. We'll have a 'sausage sizzle' in South Perth before the return leg. There'll be riders of all abilities and ages.

If you want to join us we'll be leaving from Coastal Christian Church on the corner of Baldivis and Ingram at 10:00am.

Just ask for me when you get to the starting point.

the famous and brilliant author hubert selby jr. writes like you do. not about bikes i mean, but without punctuation. it takes a while to get used to but after sometime i guess you don't really need it. i've abandoned using capitalization a long time ago, and find it's not needed at all. anyway, enough about grammar....welcome to the forums.

Yes it was not a good day,the wind picked up quite strongly mid morning and I was kind of glad I was not caught out in it.I would be keen on any similar rides in future.Could you give us a bit more notice?

I'll keep you in mind for any future rides in the area.

We actually had quite a good day. The rain held off nicely and we had a tail wind all the way into the city.

Of course that meant that we pushed against a head wind all the way back to Baldivis. :)
