The riding scene here is very healthy, except for racing. Anything that is via a club is normally crap. But if you are over 35 I sugest you join West coast masters. Very good organised racing all year.

Thanks for the info, I am over 35 (just), I guess I'll have to look at racing when I get there. As long as there is some racing I'll be happy.

A large number of the riders tend to share it between the two clubs on alternate Sunday's. This week is up at Wangara, last week was at Kardinya. Large numbers turn up for the A + B grades. Wangara has a junior race on before hand which is good to watch as well.

In a grade the races at the start of the season start at 55 - 60 km and progresivly get longer until they are at around 85 km give or take. The venues are generally close enough to ride to if you wish and the atmosphere is good, friendly. As for the races organised via the clubs affiliated with the WACF they are ok as well particularly in the summer where the crits are well patronised and safley run. In the winter the road callendar can be a bit sketchy appart from a few good early season road races. After the Kalgoorlie weekend it can be a bit hit and miss. Also the clubs dont tend to run club road races any more. It is nice being of masters age as it gives you the choice and you can usually find a race to do. The only downside is the double licence costs.
