a busy week this week and it was compounded by my #2 son giving me a cold.  i haven’t been on the bike since sunday and had tuesday off work.  if this is lining up to be anything like last year, i am expecting to have pretty much continuous colds till about mid-year.  as such, i will be riding with the intermediate group this week as i was already dropped by the advanced group last week before i was sick.

the transitional group has gotten bigger again and as these are the riders that can learn the most from the more experienced riders, we really need a few more helpers to guide this group.  if you don’t feel like smashing it and want to help impart some knowledge, feel free to help dr ronny out with this group.  remember, these are the guys and girls that will be eventually mixing it up in the faster groups, so we want them to learn as much as possible now.

the kit order has been placed so if you want to order anything….get back to me in about 6 months time.  as predicted, it was the biggest order we have  had and came in at over $17,600.  there were over 200 garments ordered so our brand will be well and truly splattered across perth.  for those that did order, you will be receiving an email soon containing the amount you owe plus the netbank details where to send money too.  we will need all payments in before the kit arrives.  the entire order will be here in about 4 weeks, but certain items may turn up sooner.  we will need to be progressively paying cannibal, so we will need your payments as soon as possible.

the next breakfast will be on the 20th of march and will coincide with the kit distribution and also the club’s agm.  we will update details of both very soon so keep your eyes on the blog.

races.  there is renae’s race this sunday at tech park.  see a previous blog entry for details.  if you are not busy, come down to support the spr riders that are having a crack.  this race is all about promoting women’s racing so there is a support women’s race on as well for those without much race experience.  pemberton is the following weekend and there are a bunch of spr riders heading down.  maybe a bit far to go to show support, but good luck to those that are heading down.

the weekends rides are as follows.  some routes have been changed to extend/reduce kilometres so if you are downloading it to your gps, make sure you have the latest version.  over the next few weeks i will be changing the format of the maps.  instead of specifying a map for intermediate or advanced or traditional, i will just have routes of different distances in different directions.  the groups can then be sent out on any of them rather than being specific to a group.

see.  busy week for me.
