when you say that you had an indulgent easter, the majority of people will assume that you ate a lot of chocolate eggs. however, with a 4 day long weekend, an indulgent easter may just have been how many hours you spent in the saddle. did anyone manage to beat ben jackson’s 249.1 km ride on easter monday??? if not, then you probably haven’t been as indulgent as you think. check him out on strava as he treks across victoria.
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.
club coaches – the club has a few home grown coaches that can help you improve your cycling. whether you are at the transitional level or wanting to make the jump into “a” grade, there is something for you. check out the previous post for more details.
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. survey closes on the 20th april.
club champion – the next race on the club champion calender is the midland 100 on this sunday, april 12th. if you are intending to race, then you probably should have your entry in already. please see the previous post for more details. the results of the pemberton race are also posted on a previous, 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.
ride routes – with the rain looking at clearing this weekend, get out on the bike before the “fair weather rider” syndrome kicks in. it always surprises me how many people still turn up on a saturday morning no matter what the weather. it almost seems to be that if others turn up it justifies your own level of insanity. it doesn’t look like it will be that bad a day, so ride while you can.
