Heads up everyone… Another big road race on the calendar is almost upon us.
The 72nd annual Tom Lowry Memorial Race will be held by the Collie Cycle Club over the weekend of 3 & 4th May (weekend after next).
For the first year, there is a Saturday afternoon crit held on the local motor race track. Fast and Furious!
The strongest contingent of SPR riders will be there for the Sunday road race. The course suits all-comers… Undulations without large hills. A good course for people to start racing or to step up a division. As usual, B grade men will race as a team.
Entry’s close Tuesday night 29/4/14 at midnight. The link is here.
Collie is a long way to drive by yourself. We encourage people to car pool if possible. Please leave comments below if you have spare space or want to car pool down with other SPR members. If there is enough interest, we might even try to co-ordinate a convoy for Sunday.

Providing I’m healthy I’ll be going down to race A-grade. will be going from Baldivis so can car share either way, drive here and pick me up or drive here and i’ll drive down.

Slightly panicked correction?? 🙂
I’m keen to give the road race a crack if a kind soul can get me down there, happy to pay my way.
Happy to give you a lift, bike rack has space for 1 more. Maybe you can fill me in on how ” road racing ” works.
I’m in for B grade
I’m there for the road race, not the crit though. B grade for me. not ready to step up to A grade with mathew 😉
Im in for B-grade RR! 🙂 Doesn’t look like I can do the crit at this stage.
OK, I’m a little new on this “HiTech Internet Nomination” bizness. Following the link, how do I get my username and password to register for the Lowry!? (Ive got a MAS1 race membership Cycling Aus card)
You need to use your log in you created when you paid for your licence

For those who do not want to race but would like to participate in the Cyclo Sportif event on the Sunday, I’ve registered a “SPR3” team (i.e. Main 3 speed); so far we have three outstanding individuals in the team, so please join us. (We are driving down on the Sat).
I’d really like to join your SPR3 Team John. Message left on your phone. Cheers, Bill
Registered for B grade RR. Not doing the crit.
I will be flying the SPR flag in the B grade women’s crit and road race. Looking forward to working with the other SPR ladies that will also be racing…….
I’ll being out there both days mixing it with the ladies in A grade and flying the SPR flag.
Seriously considering B-ing there
I’m pretty keen to give the crit, road race or both a go if someone has spare room to take me down. I’d be more than happy to pay my way there.
