South Perth Rouleurs host the Golden Spokes in 2010!
We have been working hard over the last couple of months in conjunction with CASM and Cycling WA to put together the Golden Spokes race and charity ride for 2010. This is a huge undertaking and it wouldnt be happening without a lot of help from our club volunteers and the expert assistance of Josh Camp.
The format has changed slightly from last year with more race events and more participation style (sportif) events on offer. The approximate start times are as follows:
CWA Races
7am – Juniors
7:30am – 80km A Grade Open
7:35am – 80km B Grade Males and Females
7:40am – 60km C Grade Males and Females
Following the conclusion of the races the participation events will start.
Participation Events – no licence required
9:30am – 80km John Walton Memorial Teams and Individuals
9:35am – 60km John Walton Memorial Teams and Individulas
9:50am – 30km John Walton Memorial Teams and Individuals
10:15am – 20km John Walton Memorial School Teams and Individuals
11:00am – Family Ride
All events will be run on the 10km circuit which uses the Champion Lakes course and surrouding roads which will be closed to traffic for the morning.
All riders are required to check in for nominations 15 minutes before the event.
The proceeds from this day go to CASM, a charity organisation that advocates for people with diabilities. A truley deserving cause.
There will be a host of prizes on offer for each grades including thousands of dollars worth of vouchers, trophies and medals.
Of course this being our first event we would really love to see nothing short of an army of SPR green down there on the day.

Dibs on a medium jersey 🙂 Please!
Are day race licenses available?
Day licences pretty much dont exist any more. You can only use them in club races. For any CWA races you will need an elite license
However – you can ride in the participation events either in a team or as in individual without a licence.
Toby, Great job all round, sounds like you have done a mountain of work already. Good work to all those that have volunteered for the day. Would love to be there but have another committment.
Jen, maybe we can do participation rides?
Yeah I’m up for the Participation ride. Who wants to do the 80km 🙂 Should be on my new bike by then. Fingers crossed
I think it’ll be 60km participation for me.
Happy to give a hand before and after.
Will people be racing in participation?
i’ll b there racing and helping!
I’ll be racing! C-grade maybe? Anyone know how flat the course is?
flat as a big flat thing. the biggest hill you will encounter will be lifting your bike out of the back of your car. it may be windy though. team tactics will be important. so talk about it BEFORE the race.
