some early reminders for next week.

the spring breakfast is next saturday the 19th and will be held at mark’s house in booragoon. there is a post belowso if you are coming let lisa know so we can organise catering.

the day after is the state team time trial.  we almost have 6 teams now but we need a few more people.  it is similar to a cyclo-sportifas you just race with your team-mates and you don’t even need fancy bars and bikes.  our aim is just to make our presence known to the cycling world and this is a good opportunity for us.  you need a RIDE, SPORT or recreational licence as a minimum as you can also get a day licence. 

there is a post below where you can register your interest and there is more details on the event.  so far we have 2 elite teams, a women’s team and almost 3 masters (+35) teams.  most of our guys are masters so if you want to ride, we can find a team for you.

so, now on with this weekend.

south perth rouleurs saturday ride 05 (scarborough beach rd)

i have made a few changes to the scarborough beach road route.  the main group will do the normal route but there has been a change after we cross the causeway as we will head through the city instead of mounts bay road.  after that the normal scarb beach road and down westcoast hwy.  the fast group will stay with the main until just before the rolling hills on scarbs rd start.  they will take a slight detour and ride up ewen st before linking onto west coast hwy.  there will be another detour onto the boulevard and back out oceanic drv.  both these routes have changed, so if you have a garmin you will need to upload them again.

south perth rouleurs sunday ride 10 (carradine & peet & observatory)

sunday will have a crack at 5 climbs.  heading down to mt nasura, up through roleystone and then kalamunda via the observatory and lawnbrook.  if you can make it that far you deserve a coffee.  just under 100km but some nice climbs to make it feel more like 200km.
