  2. just so you know, ndcc will be hosting the peter clark classic on the same day. A Grade Men (109.2km), B Grade Men (78km), A Grade Women (78km), C Grade Men (62.4km), Support Women’s (46.8km)

    1. Thanks Pete but I’m sure you’re aware that there are some of us that prefer to do it in groups. I guess that’s why Jordan was so quick to throw his keys, whoops I mean hat in the ring rather.

  9. Hi 🙂 There is a group created and called ‘SPR Chasers’ which you can join in if you’d like to do the 60 kms. I didn’t create it personally but I have been told to join so I did! If you are interested you are more than welcome to 🙂

  11. Numbers are looking great guys. Looks like we’ve got a team for the 60km distance team (i.e. SPR Chasers), plus a full team of 9 for the A distance. I’ve had a few other people tell me verbally that they’re keen so will keep things open ’til the 23rd April as I stated in the original blog before registering the 100 kms distance. We may end up having two teams for the A distance which would be great!!!

      1. Whoo hoo will do Dale. We’ve got a couple of others too now…Cath and Neil (potentially) for the 100km and Cara for the 60kms. Is there more space in the ‘SPR Chasers’ Carol/Jess?

        1. I don’t think Cara will be doing it now but yes I am pretty sure we have plenty of spots left in SPR Chasers so please put your names down 🙂

  12. SPR Chasers (60km) has been set up by Vicky B from the Saturday Developer group; currently 4 are enroled; Vicky B; Jess M; Amanda H and myself. Good distance for the group…. always enjoy the Cyclos…great day out… cheers Carol

  18. G’day Guys
    Well it’s looking’ like we’ve got 16 people interested in riding the 100kms distance for the cyclo and this combined with Carol’s crew it’s looking like there will be approximately 20 SPR people flying the SPR flag on the day…whoo hoo!!!

    Ali and I have put together some teams, choosing to name them after a famous cycling region around the world…the Pyrenees and the Dolomites . It was a little tricky putting the teams together but hey I’m sure we can mix it up a little on the day if need be. We’ve also tried to give those people that are travelling to the Pyrenees together in July 2012 an opportunity to ride together…a little bit of bonding time .

    Could everyone please get onto the BWA website and register in the teams as featured below:

    As you can see we’ve got a couple of space left…one in each team. Thus, if anyone else wants to join in with the fun…just give those a that are confirmed (as above) a chance to register and then feel free to add your name.

    The plan will be for all of us to meet up as a club on the day, prior to the cyclo kicking off. I’ll post this information closer to the event.

    Looking forwards to having some FUN, FUN, FUN on our bikes :-).

  21. umm… i hope i’m not doing it wrong but when i go to the bwaregistrations website it says that registrations are now closed?! 🙁

  22. oh noo!!!

    from BWA FB Page

    “Unfortunately we have had to cancel the Rockingham Community Challenge. More details will be available soon.”

    1. Yep you’re right Jason…BUMMA!!! Apparently the City of Rockingham made it impossible in the end for BWA to run the event due to continued obstacles presented.

      BWA will be organising refunds for those who registered in the next couple of days.

      It’s great that so many of you were up for the challenge and keen to have a bit of fun together whilst flying the SPR flag.

      Fingers crossed many of you will be keen to give the next one a crack, this being on Sunday, 17th May 2012 in Kalamunda. I’ll do some research and pop up a blog posting in early May.

      Thanks again all and please accept my apologies for any inconvenience it’s cancelation may have caused.

        1. it will be interesting to see what BWA can put on in kalamunda that weekend as josh is running his tour of kalamunda at the same time.

  23. Don’t be downhearted (and let all that training go to waste). Come up to the Chittering Valley and ride the Peter Clark Classic races. There are men’s races to C grade and women’s elite plus support.

    1. Yes. Registrations are definitely OK for this. I’m in for the B Grade race and hope to see many a SPR rider there – even the flat earth society members who were going to do the cyclo!!

      1. urgh…i guess i’ll register for the Peter Clark Classic. i really shouldn’t let Chittering Valley beat me should i.

        at least this time around it won’t be 40 degrees, humid, windy, getting blinded by sweat in my eyes, and choking on flies on the climb. no…this time it’ll probably be driving hail and rain.

        can you tell how much i’m looking forward to this haha!
