THE coast will provide the perfect backdrop for cyclists on Sunday, December 4.
Throughout the morning, riders will take part in the Multiple Sclerosis Society of WA’s annual Ocean Ride, which follows the coastline from Fremantle to Hillarys.
There are five course options to cater for all fitness levels and ages and with improved traffic management for the event, all cyclists will stay on the left of the road alongside the ocean.
