TEF Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Hi, looking for some keen moutainbikers to hit the trails with, I'm 35 YO guy and have been living in Perth for around 5 years, I mainly ride the Kalamunda circuit and sometimes head down to Jarrahdale. I am out most weekends but looking for some buddies to do longer rides with. I live in Bassendean, by the train station, so am able to car share if anyone needs a lift to the hills.

portlaunay Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Hey TEF, Sorry I missed your post the first time around. Welcome to PP. I ride most weekends but usually with my 11 year old so we're probably not the best if you're looking for someone to fly downhill with. We do the Kalamunda circuit, or part of at least, usually start out at Black Stump and go where the mood takes us. My son has the odd off day so I'd be happy to meet up if you want? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druid Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 My son is 20, he used to be a keen MTBer in the UK, he's pretty much given it up now due to lack of mates to ride with, I will see if he is interested, he could meet up with you in Bassendean, he's away in the UK for a month, I will talk to him when he gets back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regan Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Hey TEF I was a keen cross country mountain biker in the uk and rode 2-3 days a week. I've been here now for two years but like yourself, no body local to ride with so the off road has gone by the wayside. I couldn't do every weekend due to family commitments but a couple of times a month. I'm 39 and not as fit as I used to be but willing to get back into it Thanks Regan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TEF Posted September 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Hey just getting back online. Would definitely be keen to arrange something let me know when your crate arrives. Bassendean is 10km directly East from the city which is 15 minutes away by train or a half hour bike ride all on designated cycle paths, and 20 minute drive from the Kalamunda hills for mtbiking or 20 minute drive to the beach. Rent is about $400 a week. Vic Park is also a good area lively area to rent, lots of bars/restaturants/entertainment/etc, not on the trainline though, nearest stop would be Burswood. Get in touch again when you're in town and we'll tee something up.

TEF Posted October 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 (edited) Sounds good guys, lets hook something up for the morning Saturday 1st of November, thinking of meeting up at 8am in Kalamunda. Probably look to do a 20 - 25km ride, averaging around 14 -16km /hr. Meeting at the Calamunnda Camel Farm (361 Paulls Valley Rd, Paulls Valley WA 6076). if you're keen to meet up and we'll sort out trail details, there's loads to ride up that way http://perthmtb.asn.au/node/29634 Also there a 12 hour race, dusk to dawn, on 29 - 30 Nov down in Dwellingup, we're looking for a third for our team if anyone is keen!

Regan Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 Hey TEF I'd love to get back on the off road saddle again but sadly not for a couple of weeks as Im just finishing building a house. I had a trip down to pemberton last month and got back on the saddle for 4 days.... It bloody killed me but had a good ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
