four day weekend – quality time with the family or an attempt at the quadruple-double.  that’s right, the double on every day of the weekend can potentially give you a 450km weekend.  a free easter egg to anyone that tops 400kms this weekend (divorce lawyer will cost extra).

spr kit – the kit order is open and can be found here or through the tabs at the top of the website.  this will be the winter order so make sure you get the armwarmers, vests or jackets you require before it gets too cold.

club breakfast and agm – on the 14th of april we will hold our agm after the club breakfast. venue will be the DOME so keep an eye out for more info as we post it. if you want to get involved with the club, here is your chance. nominate by sending me an email.

state tt champs – the 15th of april means the dams ride for many of you. for the others, there is an opportunity to race for a state title. our sister club down south will be hosting the state time trial championships at dardanup. this is a good opportunity to compete at a state level and see how good you are against the clock. this year the event is also open to day licence holders, although they are not eligible to win a state title. if you are training up for the 1/2 ironman, this may be a good form tester. you can always go for a run afterwards.

ride routes – the normal earlybird rides apply on friday and monday this weekend.  that means you will be starting under the narrows but on the sth perth side.  i have not re-routed the public holiday ride where it goes along left bank.  i think that the alternative back onto canning hwy has more traffic interaction and therefore is just as dangerous.  last time i think that the group was not aware of the speed humps especially in an area that we used to go hard.  we are now aware and as such the section along left bank will be an easy ride section so that people can easily ride around the speed humps.  just remember, you are also responsible for your own safety, so if you think that people are riding too hard for the road conditions, then you should back off.  i have often pulled out of a group if it is too dark, too wet, or just feel uneasy. 

in preparation for the dams ride, the sunday hills will once again go through mundering.  however, this time we head up through darlington before we go along weir road.
