a big weekend of bike riding happening starting friday night.  the tour de perth kicks off in northbridge with a criterium at 6:30pm and as shown before on a previous post, there will be a number of spr regulars racing.  there will even be a few spr jerseys on the circuit to so come along and cheer them on.

just after the saturday morning ride, take a spin over to kings park as the first real stage of the tour will do a number of circuits including mounts bay road.  the finish line is atop of the climb up spring and malcolm st so you will get a great view along there.

sunday is all around perry lake reserve, with the next stage in the morning around a circuit and a time trial in the afternoon.  both routes take in rebold hill and will be quite testing.  this is the time that the spr riders will need to hear your support.  at the same time there will be the festival of cycling in which we will have a tent.  there will be the latest batch of spr drink bottles on sale as well as a powertest to determine your power/weight ratio.  this will also be the day which i will be distributing the latest spr kit if you have ordered any. so come on down and support your club and the riders in the tour.  if you want to hang out at the tent and help out you are more then welcome to as well.

the saturday ride will take on ridgehill rd.  well actually the route has been changed now, so the fast group do ridgehill road and the main group skirt around it all together.  both groups head out towards guilford but the main group turn onto kalmunda road and then back along helena valley road and guilford road.  the fast group take the good old way past the rosehill gofl course then out along helena valley road to ridgehill.  home via kalamunda road and guilford road.  with only 4 1/2 kms difference between the two routes there is a good chance that there will be a catch.
