we have a busy couple of weeks coming up. the winter breakfast is on this saturday and for your $10 there will be food, drink, raffle prizes and a bike weigh-in. if you have not collected any kit it can be picked up as well and the zip replacement jerseys are back.
the following week is the cyclo-sportif at swan valley. this is usually a very popular event as it is really close and starts at the velodrome in midvale. we are hoping to have a few teams of different ability, so keep an eye on the website and get ready to put your name down for it. for those that don’t know, this is a team event where you have to stick together as a team. it is a good introduction to racing as you cannot get dropped and the whole team has to stop if you get a flat tyre. we will have a tent there as part of the trade show and we will be trying to get a few more members. after the cyclo there is a track grand prix and we have a number of spr riders involved. should be a pretty big day all round.
the following weekend has an atta time trial and a mtb xc race. something for everybody.
very soon we will open the orders for the spr accessories. our computer boys have been working on an online ordering system which is almost complete. at the moment, you will still transfer the funds via netbank, but the whole ordering system is a lot more streamlined. we will get a sizing kit for people to try on soon.
this week all the rides finish at my place for the breakfast rather than the coffee shop. have a good look at the maps so you know where you are going. sorry to those that seem to be doing the same route as last week. i was not proactive enough to look ahead and we only have a single set of breakfast rides. at least you will know the course well.

That last leg up shelly looks fast…
Who is getting their leg up in Shelly?
I rode Shelly this morning.
Registrations for the Swan Valley Cyclo Sportif close 6pm Tuesday 22nd June.
mmmm Shelly. Even though he is swanning around in Europe I bet there is a little part of Jason that wishes he was here to do Shelly this Sat
it will take jason 7 weeks after 7 weeks in Eroupe just to get back on the bike!
the thought of 14 weeks of the bike would kill me!
Thanks so much to everyone involved for breakfast this morning,an absolute treat to finish to ride to.
Swan Sportif – next Sunday – SPR Mainliners
Following up on Pete’s brief this morning – the SPR Mainliners are running in next Sundays Swan Sportif . . . we have 6 so far (myself, Wally, Greg, Declan, Frank & Doug) and we’re happy to have another 3 join in to make up the 9. Aiming for an average speed of around 31-32 and looking at doing the 80 klm “A” course this time.
I need to register the team on Tuesday afternoon at the latest . . . . so if you’re interested can you please confirm on Petes blog when he puts it up today. If there’s more than 3 then I understand that Pete will organise another team or two . . .
