The next Cyclosportif event, the Byford Bike-A-thon is being held on Sunday 23rd August and takes in the scenery around Byford, the Serpentine Damn and Jarrahdale.
Byford is only 43km south of Perth
There is an opportunity for anyone involved in SPR to participate as there are 3 different distances to choose from.
Distance A- 86 km
Distance B- 72 km
Distance C- 32 km
Each team comprises up to a maximum of 9 and a minimum of 5 riders for each event, with the overall team time (you must stick together) counting as the completed time. This is NOT racing – it is about enjoying a challenge
with your team mates and ‘participating’ as a team not ‘winning’.
Let’s see if we can get as many SPR jerseys out there as we did for the Swan
Valley Event!!!
Cost is $45 pp for Cyclosportif members/ $60 pp for non-members
If you hold a current Cycling Australia racing license the cost is $45
Recreational and non-license holders will need to buy a “friend of Cyclosportif” day license to participate – $60 in total
Please indicate in the comments if you are interested and in which distance.
An
SPR “base camp” and “feed zone” will be available on the day.

As has been said before… I am up for the “big one”!
Well I can do A but will ride out there and home as it will be my last “big” training week prior to Grafton so if there is enough A count me in… maybe I will just motor pace you lorriane 😉
Count me in for the 86km
In for the A…
Hopefully I can keep it up the whole way..
I’m ok for any distance if there is a tactile group.
I’ll happily drag myself around for the 86km..
Make sure you consider the route and the profile when nominating. The A distance rides up to the Serpentine Dam with almost 500m rise in elevation to get there. Teams will need to be homogeneous or patient or both.
A for me
So Sunday Hill bunnies, we need your services in A…
Julian no excuses, perhaps even on a new Steed…
Mr B, take it easy on us…
A 0r B with riders of similar ability depending on #s. prefer the longer
I think i will be up for it will confirm shortly – happy for A (though if only the *fast boys* are doing the A then I will obviously bow out gracefully)
I do not think I have said this before “but I’am also up for the Big One”
Happy to join a group of similar ability. A or B.
I’m keen 🙂 86 or 72. Cheers, Sandra
Ps I am a CycloSportif member too ($45 entry fee) 🙂
I am in for A.
A or B as numbers dictate.
Keen for 72 or a slower 86 group.
I have another for the B group, whether it the longer or lil shorter.
Perhaps we will have enough interest for 2 * the longer distance?
Are there any team captains?
I’ll go in whatever group that will wait for me in the hills
Count me in for A ride.
is it too late to join a ‘B’ distance team?
Snuggles, can you please email me pandasteak@runplaywin.com your full name and details.
I’m registering the B team tonight as Lisa is no longer participating.
email sent…
just looked at the map. this is a great course – no puny little loops – good stuff!!
