it’s all about the numbers.  1 month till christmas.  9 days till the spr christmas breakfast.  2 weeks till the last road race of the year.  4 days till our first crit.  1 sponsor to go to finalise the new kit.  200 members by the end of 2010. 

club crits – we are joining forces with the roues chaudes club to host a number of crits at technology park.  starting this sundayand then pretty much one per month until march.  we are running “a” thru to “d” grade, so if you want to have a go at racing, then come along to this.  the course is short so if you get dropped, then it is not like you have to ride ages to get back to the start.  there will be stacks of spr people down there for support, so we can help you out if it is your first time racing.  if you have a racing licence then it is just $10 entry.  if not then you will need to buy a day licence.  all cash on the day so you don’t need to pre register.  a bit more info can be found here.  we are providing volunteers for this event, so we need some more to get it going.  very basic thing like traffic management or line judging and you can “job share” if you want to race as well.  add your name to the comments if you are going to help out.  if we don’t get enough, we may start to volunteer people.  also, if people have a spare jersey, put your name  on it and bring it down so we can make sure all the spr people are in the club colours.  this is our first one of these so lets make it work.

christmas breakfast – we now have enough volunteers, so we now need to know if you are coming.  add your name to the comments if you are coming along on dec 4th.  food, drink, raffle prizes,

movember – less that a week to go. if you don’t donate, i will keep the sleazy mo for another month.   donate to the cause.

memberships – as you may have seen on an earlier post, we have started an earlybird drive to get people to either join or renew their licence.  prizes to be won so do it now.  thanks to shaw at netplus microcomputers.

ride routes – last week i put up a post to show where the different groups need to congregate before the rides.  i was told that it looked like a “go line” from a mine site where all the haul trucks park up before starting for the day.  probably not far off it, but at least you aren’t the size of a 2 story house with tyres that cost over $40,000 each.  anyway, the north island is the one closest to the river (considering we are in south perth which is south of the river) as some people were confused last week.  no sunday hills ride organised this week as the club crits are on.
