Registration for the SPR hosted 2010 Golden Spokes closes today!! There are so many categories to choose from that nobody had an excuse not to be on their bikes.
For the licensed riders who want to get their race on there is A, B and C grade. There are also womens races mixed in amongst the boys. 80kms for A & B, and 60km for C grade.
For those more into the Sportif style events you can ride as a team or as an individual in the Participation events. Participation events start from a 10km Family ride all the way up to the 80km big one. No licence is required for these rides.
There is over $3000 worth of prizes to be won on the day.

WANNA BE RACERS – day race licenses ARE available!
It would seem that anyone who wants to enter into a Racing class (A,B,C) are able to do so. I have just signed up to C grade and purchased a day race license. I have confirmed with Cycling WA that you are able to do so.
I know that there are a few of you who wanted to do this..

Mino – for sure we’ll need more help. If you can be down there at about 8:00am to help the finishing line judges that would be fab.
Im emailing everyone who has volunteered tonight with some more info.
Thanks again.
I have a Medium Jersey to lend out! On night shift Sat/Sun so not racing.
A few of us are thinking about going to Pancho’s Mexican Villa for lunch after Golden Spokes. However, everyone is welcome to come along.
Any takers? Let me know by posting here and I’ll make the booking by Thursday evening.
Cheers,
Mark
hey mark – i was actually thinking dinner. a lot of us will still be out there till about 3pm as we have to pack up after the participation ride.
that’s cool. How’s about 6pm then so that all us tired bunnies can get home and collapse not too late?
Toby, I’m catching a lift down there with Jen/Anna and I think I’m on packing up duties. I don’t think Jen/Anna will want to hang around until afternoon – is there something I can do earlier?
I can hang around and help as I am planning on riding home after the race
Just to let everyone know, I have two sets of new 2010 zipp 303 clinchers with shimano/sram freehubs, if anyone was after last minute race wheels perfect for training/racing these are them… $1950 pick up from Innaloo. I also have a new 2010 zipp 900 tubular disc for $1450 which includes shimano/sram freehub and bonus track axel aswell.
