so another of our long standing club members has left perth this week. stuart ivins has headed over to melbourne to live, so as a tribute, i stole one of his photos that he posted on facebook. although a loss to our club, what this does is give us another contact in another city in australia for when we go travelling. we look forward to seeing the new spr kit around the streets of melbourne.
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 – this months ride leaders are proudly sponsored by Retul Bike Fit Lab. please see the previous post detailing what they provide and we thank them for encouraging our members to step up as ride leaders. ride leaders will receive a $10 Dome voucher to be used after the saturday ride. 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.
spr agm & breakfast – this saturday, march 21st is our next club breakfast and will incorporate the club agm. please see the previous post for more details.
club auditor – the club requires a annual audit leading up to the agm. the 2104 financials have been viewed by mike tan and we appreciate the work he has done over the last 2 years. we need to appoint a new auditor for 2015 so if you have any experience in this area and would like to help out the club, get in contact with us.
spr kit collection – the new spr kit will be available for collection at the agm this weekend. please see the previous post for alternative collection arrangements. also be aware best online casino that the next order closes at the end of march (and every 3 months after that), so get your winter orders in.
club champion – the next race on the club champion calender is the midland 100 on april 12th. please see the previous post for more details. the results of the pemberton race will be posted soon.
rules of engagement – please read the previous post if you come out on any of our rides. it is up to all members to enforce these rules.
accident report form – as a member, if you are unfortunate enough to have an accident on your bike, please use the form attached on the previous post. this covers both insurance claims and allows the club to better manage it’s risk. what we want to use this form for is to understand if we need to change anything that we do on our rides. if you and someone else touch wheels and come down on one of our rides, i would like you both to fill in a form and send it through. it doesn’t have to be just for serious accidents, tracking the minor ones can help us understand our risks.
ride routes – a new ride route this saturday to build up a appetite before the club breakfast. it is a mishmash of a number of old rides including the original scarborough beach road without ewan st. make sure you know the way or have uploaded to your garmin. there is a link under the map to help you.

Thanks El Prez – a new SPR Saturday Course ! (And it looks good)
– But wait a minute – i detect something fishy here….
Have Lozza and Lennie bought you off? No “Spewin’ Ewen” Street Hill? Have you gone soft Pete?????
I don’t think he has, Bill: apart from Malcolm St and Scarborough Beach Rd’s gradual climb, there’s a nice 12% pinch (for 200m or so) on the steep side of Hale Rd that’s guaranteed to burn the legs.
A re-group point is possible at the Hale School carpark on the corner of Unwin Ave, near my office.
For the Fast group, there’s the downhill on the other side of Hale to get back on, along with the slow traffic lights at the right turn into Pearson St (or you could just drop into Flying Fynn’s place).
Is anybody interested in doing the UWCT (or other hills ride) on Saturday 6am?
