ride routes 27th, 28th feb & 1st mar

well it is the end of summer this weekend and already i can feel the oncoming winter…..not.  the working week ends with a stinking hot finale and there is only a slight respite for the weekend.  mid thirties are predicted with strong hot north easterly winds. 

speaking of lots of hot wind, there has been lots of discussion on the blog about the rides and the rules.  whenever a new person contacts me about coming to join in the rides, the first thing i tell them is to “have a look at the ride etiquette section of our website so you know what we expect”.  i think that some of the riders that have been with the group for quite a while may need to have a look to refresh their memories.  the first section pretty well sums up what should have happened last saturday in the advanced group.  in any of the groups, everyone needs to be aware of the group as a whole.  it is not just up to the group leader to enforce the rules.

few things coming up.  there are quite a few spr riders heading down to pemberton race this weekend.  it is quite a big trip to take for a bike race so it is good to see so many riders committed to making the journey.  good luck to those taking part.  at least they are not predicting hail storms like last year.

the following weekend we are manning a stall in george burnett park just off manning road to take part in the south perth fiesta.  they are showcasing a bunch of sports and clubs from within the south perth area so we will be trying to “seduce” a few more members.  it is on from 9am to 1pm so a couple of us will be missing the ride to man the stall.  if anyone want to help out drop me an email or alternatively, after coffee swing by to have a look and so we can get a few people hanging around in out kit.

speaking of kit, the order is underway so if you have purchased anything you need to get your money transferred across soon. 

the rides this long weekend are a below.  you may notice that the saturday intermediate group is doing one of the advanced routes.  i am in the process of renaming all the routes so that we will just have a selection of saturday and sunday routes of varying distances.  all will be mapped to allow for any group to be able to use them.  however, it takes time so bear with me  for a bit.  remember, the public holiday ride is aimed at the intermediate group so keep the pace down and look out for the slower riders.
