Loiking the hoiking and boiking!!

Another year rolls by and I’ve managed to elude the Great Perth Bike ride yet again. Lots of great efforts from friends in the 106km effort. Brendan McSweeney put in a sensational effort for a 39.6kph average. Shannon Arnott just shy of a 36kph effort putting her among the top female efforts. If you check [...]

Nerves of steel

I got to Coker Park near Carousel and registered. I met up with [...]
