Boxing Day rides in Perth

For the past few years, there has been a ride
-departing from BikeForce Woodvale at the Woodvale Shops (on Trappers Drive in Woodvale) at about 6:30 am (ring the shop to confirm start time)
begins with maybe 30-40 dudes
- goes to BikeForce Subiaco, meets another 40 or so...
- heads up West Coast Hwy to Quinns Rocks (last time it did anyway)
The pace is very sedate in order to burn fat, not glucose. If a fat [censored] like me can hang on till the end, it aint exactly a team Trial

Hey that sounds like just what I'm looking for. The only aspect that mightn't work for me is the 6:30 start. I'm temporarily a single parent this Christmas (wife gone back to Europe for a family wedding) and that would probably be a bit early to ask a babysitter to come around...but I'll work out something. Thanks for that.
