Display - Boorloo Bridge Opening
Join the WA Historical Cycle Club in celebrating the opening of Boorloo Bridge at a special twilight, free, family friendly event.
Check out our display in a marquee near the eastern end of the bridge, where it meets McCallum Park.
Boorloo Bridge will significantly improve connectivity, safety and amenity for thousands of people who walk, wheel or ride in and out of Perth city daily.
Two six-metre-wide cable-stayed bridges have been constructed over the Swan River, linking the Victoria Park foreshore to Perth via Heirisson Island.
This new, iconic Perth landmark is now known as Boorloo Bridge in recognition of the Whadjuk Noongar culture and history which has been embedded into the design. We recognise and acknowledge the valuable contribution over the last three years from the Matagarup Elders Group (MEG) who have been instrumental in ensuring accurate cultural narrative of the bridge to encourage awareness, understanding and appreciation of Noongar culture.
This will be the first opportunity to walk, wheel and ride across the bridge and pose for a selfie next to the boomerang and digging stick pylons! There are lots of new spaces to explore in McCallum Park, Heirisson Island and Point Fraser where you will discover murals, sculptures, wayfinding, and plenty of seating to rest, relax and recharge while enjoying the stunning views of the new bridge and the Swan River.
The evening wraps up with a firework display and the much anticipated switching on of the feature lighting on the bridge.
Christmas Picnic - Kings Park
All are welcome to join the WAHCC end of year Christmas picnic.

Vintage Track Night
Friday May 24th sees us back out at the Speed Dome in Midvale to exercise the bikes that we can’t ride on the road.
Aside from admiring and riding bikes from members’ collections that rarely see the light of day, or have their pedals turned, it’s great opportunity to try out track riding on a world class indoor velodrome. It’s also a great little social outing, so please consider joining the riders as a spectator (with pizza rights!)
Don't have a track bike... or don't trust your old tyres? Your $25 covers the use of a hire bike supplied by Track Cycling WA.
$25 for ride and pizza, $5 for spectator and pizza - sign up and pay in the club webshop, or turn up and pay on the night.

Display - Moondyne Festival Toodyay
The club has a long, and fruitful, association with Toodyay’s amazing Moondyne Festival. It’s a one day event, running from 9am to 4pm.
The organisers have, for the past few years, had us set up on the forecourt of the old fire station (105 Stirling Terrace, Toodyay). Members, there is parking available at the rear of the Fire Station off Charcoal Lane, just before the Duke St intersection.
The forecourt is quite exposed in sunny weather so it would be great to get a club marquee up there - any volunteers to give it a ride there or a ride home? Please let Rob know.
It’s a busy day with lots of stalls and non stop entertainment - see you there!
