chogm, blah.  queen, blah.  traffic chaos, blah.  no time to worry about those things.  the golden spokes is on next week so i am starting to stress about that instead.  do we have enough of this, too much of that, will people turn up, will i get enough volunteers, will the weather be crap, will zac wear an all white kit???  some things i just don’t want to think about.  maybe i need a good hard ride to clear the mind.

golden spokes – this race is next weekend on saturday.  still need more volunteers.  still need more people to enter.  some more info here.  i will confirm the volunteering positions this week and put up a blog post.  get behind the club and help us run a great event.

training sessions – as in a previous blog, there have been a few old training sessions revived lately.  spin with fynn is now monday night, wednesday uci ride has returned and thursday morning recovery ride starts directly after the fast group.  something for everyone.

spr t-shirt – we have bought more t-shirts that we need so the orders are still open.  click here for more info.

spr kit – we are sorting out some technical difficulties with getting the orders up on the website.  please do not try to order any kit if you do manage to fine a “backdoor” into our online system.  at the moment, i can’t guarantee exactly what you can order, and it is a pain to issue refunds.  keep an eye on the blog for when orders are open.

special DOME opening – keep an eye on the blog for more details. 

ride routes – i have checked the road closures for chogm and we should be ok for the friday earlybird and public holiday ride as riverside drive is clear.  the friday earlybird, will be the standard earlybird ride around the river as the normal friday morning ride will not get back to coode st in time.  saturday has the big aussie bbq on so the whole cityside riverfront is in lockdown.  the earlybird should be fine, but after that we need to finish via mounts bay rd.  not sure if the belltower will be open so i guess we will play it by ear.
