i think that we take perth weather for granted sometimes, especially as cyclists. this loooong weekend, there are 4 days at 30 deg or just under. a third of the way through autumn and we have weather that a lot of places would be proud to have as the height of summer. make sure you take advantage of it and get some rides in to burn off that extra chocolate you devour. and make sure you catch up with your family too.
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 Riders Choice. please see the previous post detailing what they provide and we thank them for encouraging our members to step up as ride leaders. you can still take advantage of this offer if you book in march for a fit in april. 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 kit collection – the new spr kit will be available for collection at the coffe shop after the saturday ride. please see the previous post for alternative collection arrangements. also be aware that the next order closes at the end of march (and every 3 months after that), so get your winter orders in.
cycling infrastructure survey – please take the time to fill in the survey attached in the previous post. like most things political, it takes more than one voice to get heard. there are lots of spaces in the survey to put detailed descriptions of what you see as the issues.
uwct grand fondo photos – i didn’t race due to a back injury, so i lived through the rest of the club via the camera. some photos on the previous post.
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 are also posted on aprevious, but different, post.
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.
vice presidential good friday 3 dams ride – the 3rd annual vp 3 dams ride is on friday 3rd april. as in other years, this is not a beginners ride, so be aware that the pace will be solid and regroups minimised. make sure you bring adequate food and water as most shops will not be open. please see the previous post for further details.
ride routes – the first weekend of the month is ladies day. this week we will have ladies only main 1 and main 2 rides starting just behind the main 1 and main 2 rides. take this opportunity to get involved in the pace making with the benefit of trailing groups to pick you up if you get into trouble.

Well done to all who did the VP Ride today. Over 50 started and there were a few who took side routes. At least 40 finished. It was a great day and only 364 more sleeps to the next one!
