busy, busy, busy. this week has been busy. first there was chogm, then the DOME opening, now the golden spokes. it looks to be a good weekend with big numbers across all grades. lets hope the weather grants us a reprieve as well.
golden spokes – saturday is race day. there are about 110 riders in across all three grades in the cycling wa race with an additional 21 in juniors. 3/4 of the c grade field is from spr, so you will need to keep toby’s legacy alive to take out the win. on top of that there are another 40 riders from the west coast masters that will also be racing on the course. thank you to all the people that have volunteered. lets hope the weather holds out and we have a successful day.
new coffee shop – some dude from the club has opened a DOME coffee shop in the city. saturday will be the first time we re-route the ride finish away from the belltower. i will put up a separate post explaining how we get there. i hope people enjoyed the free breakfast on tuesday.
spr kit order – yes, finally, the kit orders are open. use the links on the menu to access the online shop. see the previous post for more information on the hot topic of kit vs memberships. orders will remain open for another week and a half to make sure everyone gets a chance to purchase.
movember – i have been roped into this one again and we have set up a team, currently with 4 members. we will post some more info on this soon and will be hitting you up for donations. give that they may grow a mo.
ride routes – even with the golden spokes on, there will still be a saturday morning ride available. there may be a need for some people to step up and act as ride leader for the day, so don’t be shy the club needs you. all the rides will finish along mounts bay road, so getting to the new DOME is relatively easy. continue along passed mounts bay hospital and cross mill st. just after the first foot bridge from teh bus port, is mercantile lane on your left. turn up it and it will bring you out at st georges terrace. the coffee shop is just on your right at 167. i will post a quick map tomorrow.

I’m happy to coordinate rides on Saturday. Good luck to all the racers. I’ll be thinking of you in between kids sport and manning stalls at the Kensington PS fete.
Worth also mentioning that the ATTA summer season of pain ( sorry time trials) also commences on Sunday at Champion Lakes.
See you at the School Fete stalls Julian. Woo hoo.
