Default Freeway bike hike Perth

Dont mind paying the entry fee, although it seems a bit steep its for a good cause, but it appears that the 7000 entrants have to front up to an office in subico to collect their registration bib or whatever, many will be putting a bike on a car or train to get to this event, to have to make another trip into the city seems a complete waste when the postie comes past my door anyway

My wish is your command. They are putting on trains down to Kwinana for it. And back the other way if you only want to do the 30km. And after the event.

Agree that the "no mail-out policy" is not so good, requiring pickup in Subi. I would have been perfectly happy with just the number posted out to me, no water bottles, t-shirts, bags full of advertisers crap etc. But I guess that kind of defeats the purpose, so...

$35 for the 30km, $50 for the 60km (if you enter online). I don't mind too much as long as a good proportion of it goes to charity.

I'm hoping that the 7am start from Kwinana will allow that group to get past the Belmont group (who start at 8) and minimise the congestion.
