Don’t let a lack of equipment stop you from joining in, previous year’s we’ve had a full spectrum of riders & gear …some on full TT setup’s with disc wheels, whilst others had their standard road bikes, some with clip on aero bars.This is a good opportunity for those participating in the Tour of Margaret River to ride together and perfect your TTT skills for Stage 1.
Everyone can participate, its a nice way to compete, but only against the clock and you get to do it with a couple of your SPR mates.

Please comment with your name, grade and an idication of your pace, Main 1, 2, 3 etc below by 9 October if you’re interesting in participating and we’ll put teams together.

Would prefer to race elite distance, rather than masters…
50+ have tt bike
I had already started forming a 50+ team before this blog item, and although I have 4 potential starters not all have yet confirmed their enthusiasm to participate, so stay tuned. I am sure we will get a 50+ team one way or another!

Anyone wanting clip-ons please let me know. I’ll make arrangements for them to be at Dome on Saturday morning
Stuart, would they fit smaller diameter bars?
Yep.
Elite distance…Fast group…Got TT bike
Elite, main 1.5 or 2, road bike, hairy legs 😛
I’m in please, if able with team for Margaret river. Main 1/ fast group. <50 Masters.
No TT bike, just the standard roadie.
I am in too with my ToMR mates ( for Masters I assume)! M1pace…. just on the roadie, but might look at getting some clip-ons.
(I still got 2 years before I can get a start in the 50+ Cat…. but then looking at our SPR 50+ team probably a good job as they all are super strong)
I just arrived in Perth (w/ TT ready to roll)…. wanted to see if anyone needed a teammate for the TTT…. not sure of the classifications here yet (in the comments above… M1 or M2, etc..)… so my 16k TT speed is 42-43 kph…am 41 yrs old… let me know…
Hi Chad, welcome to Perth!
If you’re an experienced group cyclist come and join some of the rides and introduce yourself.
Cheers,
Stuart.

Congratulations to our SPR Masters 1 team who took out the silver medal in the Masters 50+ category and SPR Masters 2 who took out the bronze in the Masters <50 category.
A real shame for our women's team who were clearly in the gold medal position (they had nearly caught their two-minute team who were the eventual winners!) when they crashed out just after the 15km mark. Next year girls!!
