damn the weather is nice lately.  shame i have to spend the majority of it bathed in the glow of a computer monitor.  i have been so busy lately that i have had to work back a bit.  don’t know what is going on with that.  i thought that i was at the point in my career that i could avoid that type of thing.  i will be pretty upset if it starts interfering with my riding though.  especially getting back to my first point that the weather is so damn nice.

world championships tipping comp – i missed setting up something for the vuelta as i was away for the first week of it and it is a shame too as you get a better appreciation for the race if there is money at stake.  however, we will be running a tipping comp for the world champs being held in geelong in a couple of weeks.  keep an eye out for more details, but basically you will have to tip every event, including the U23 and women’s events.  so, start reading cyclingnews to see who is on form and more importantly who is going to be competing.

spr accessories – if you haven’t collected your kit yet, pick up by appointment only.  drop me an email here.

juniors – so we will kick off the juniors this weekend.  i put up a post earlier with the details, so hopefully we will get e few down there.  yes i know the map shows them swimming home, and i have to get around to fixing that soon.

memberships – i also put a post up about memberships if you have been trying to join lately.

races – track racing this friday night, come along to watch and cheer on the boys in green.  dwellingup 100km mtb racethis saturday, there will be an official spr tent up and we are in the process of getting mtb affiliation too.  cyclo-sportif at warona where we have a couple of teams entered.

training rides –i have been informed that as of next week, the development group rides that start at 5:45 on tues & thurs will be now starting back up behind frasiers in kings park.  this is due to the fact that it is now light enough to see what is going on.

ride routes – so we will try out the “fast with a main chaser” this weekend and see how it goes.  if it seems to be a winner then i will map a few more routes between 50 and 55 kms as we seem to be at one extreme or the other.  sunday is a killer again while i try to force feed some fitness back into my body.
