this week is women”s cycling week (20-27th july). there is a call out to show your support via social media and people are being asked to tweet or facebook themselves with the comment – I support women”s cycling #owntheroad #womenscycling. there is a lot of disparity in our sport with teams like sky having a budget that could easily fund all women”s teams many times over. many women in the professional peloton are not actually paid to race, but still do it anyway. we have lots of women in our club that are discovering racing for the first time and we want to do whatever we can to support them.
ride leaders – support the club and help us become ambassadors for the sport in the public eye. put your name down as ride leader to ensure that the group ride is safe and organised. sign up here.
ride leaders sponsorship – if you have a business that you want to promote to our members, check out the previous post to both promote your business and help out the club.
tomr teams – the teams for the tour of margaret river have been announced. see the previous post to see how hard you need to train. don”t worry if you are on the reserve list. going by last years performance, there is a good chance that you will be called up as online casino there are three months for riders to get sick, injured, or have work/family commitments.
lighthouse to lighthouse – if anyone is interested in doing an organised ride down south, the lighthouse to lighthouse ride is coming up. see the previous post for more details and leave a comment if you are thinking of heading down.
ride routes – hopefully the rain will stay away (at least until we finish our ride). i was asked the other day if we cancel rides in bad weather. i said that someone usually turns up no matter what the weather. if this is you, then maybe a combined smaller group is the go. stay safe.
