Pre-ride (2)

Saturday July 27
Today was wintry as regards wind and rain but temperature was 18 deg. I had planned to cycle out to Fremantle but conditions put paid to that.

I met up with the cycling group at 3 pm ( dropping luggage and orientation). There are 15 in all for this section. 7 of them have been on the previous sections and 8 of us are now joining in for the last leg of the circuit... 'Across the Paddock'. Most are from Australia with 5 internationals ( 2 from US, 1 from NZ, 1 Germany and self. Age ranges from 30's to 70's.
Meeting up with the group eased some anxieties that had surfaced over the last few days (usually happens to me). I received the official T-shirt that we wear on the first and last day at least.
Had a last walk around the streets of Perth that are a mix of traditional and modern.

I feel anxious right now to get on the road and enjoy the lovely helpful westerly wind that's going our way.

We meet at 7am at Bell Tower ( just down the street) and push pedal at 8.
