there is a couple of big weekends of racing lined up one after the other.  this week we have the track grand prix on sat night followed by the golden spokes road race on sunday.  the following weekend there is the tour de perth with some of our regular riders like brendan, steve, nicole, lisa, davina and bec all fronting up for this three stage event in the heart of perth.  this corresponds to a “festival of cycling” held at perry lakes while the tour is going on around it on sunday.  we will be manning a stall, so come along, watch the racing and check out the festival.  the weekend after is the state criterium champs at armadale on saturday and the great perthbike ride on sunday (for those of you that want to test your mettle against misplaced road signs and traffic cones).

however, closer to home (being south perth) we will be heading north on saturday morning.  scabs beach road with the group not splitting till we pass osborne park.  we will be traversing the city centre first, but we should stick together till the split.  the main group will take the usual way to scarborough while the fast group will head up ewen street.  both groups head down west coast hwy, but the fast group take a detour up the boulevard and back out oceanic.  home through dalkeith.

sundaywill see quite a few of us racing down at champion lakes for the golden spokes event.  for those that still want a hills ride, you will be looping around kalamunda and the observatory.  the test will be passing the coffee shop to head up kalamunda rd first.  the benefit will be that you can do your timed climb of mundaring weir rd as the third climb not the last climb.
