Knitting Bitches ride the freeway!

Today several now severely traumatised Cycling Bitches realised a dream and rode their bikes up to Joondalup from Belmont, a distance of 30 kilometres. Of the group consisting of Helen, Vicki, Jane and Sue, Helen and Vicki carried the leader torch for knitters of a certain calibre by coming in above their recognised group and finishing in a record (for them) of about 1 hour and 11 or so minutes.



Celebrations in the form of a lamb curry and ice cream brunch (don't knock it 'til you've tried it) went on for at least half an hour before the group, including trainer Perry, moved to the Italian restaurant renowned for the slowest coffee service on the planet. Unfortunately the riders were not aware of this. Helen did try to order at the counter - just three coffees - and was told that there was table service. Ten minutes later table service came and went and came again, this time with an order pad. Orders were placed. Orders did not appear and it seems now that perhaps we had ordered from a waitress who worked at another establishment as still no coffee appeared. Dejected, our intrepid riders returned home via TransPerth's most excellent train service followed by a quiet lie down and a cuppa.
