races – dardanup open, pmbc xc series round 3, cyclo-sportif york, hopefully we get some race reports from these events…unlike the collie race. at the dardanup race we have 24 south perth riders out of a total of 97 so we make up a quarter of the entire field. this is a great way to get exposure for our club regardless of the race result. there is also a participation ride on if any partners want to come down and have a ride as well. entry can be on the day.
as far as clubs go, we have a very good relationship with south west, so i want to continue to support their events whenever we can. they will be holding the state time trial event in june. as it is a time trial you don’t have to worry about the whole pack thing. if you want to take that step and have a go at racing, then this is a great opportunity for any of our riders. keep an eye out for more info as it comes to hand.
social day – the social day/my birthday is on next weekend. saturday 22nd may at 12 noon. see here for more info. this is an opportunity for your family to meet the people you ride with. please make sure that you rsvp as we need to organise the catering and entertainment for the kids.
giro tipping comp – we have over 30 teams in the giro tipping comp. check out the tipping home page to see how everyone is going. if you missed out this time, don’t worry as we will be running a comp for the tour and the vuelta as they come around too.
ride routes – a mixed bag this weekend, but as usual, something for everyone. the latest report is saying that there will be no more rain till tuesday, so we should be expecting a dry start. however, it must be a clear night as saturday morning will be only 5 deg, so rug up. sounds like a good morning for the spr jacket.
