after the stresses of the last couple of weeks, i really feel at a loss of what to write here tonight.  therefore, i am going to have the week off and not add any comment.  look after each other, and stay safe.

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 – May’s Ride Leaders are proudly sponsored by Forever Living Products.   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.

gary update – not much to add since the previous update.  gary still has a long way to go in his recovery so we have to realise that this will take time.  he is still only seeing family at this time, so no extra visitors yet.  once i get word from the family, we will coordinate visits.

friday development ride – this ride has been put together to help develop anyone that wants to participate in the swan valley cyclo-sportif later in the year.  not aimed at those that are already racing, this is to help get people used to the type of riding required for a cyclo.  see the previous post for more details.

more racing – the tom lowry memorial weekend in collie this weekend.  with a criterium on the saturday around the race track and a road race on the sunday, it looks to be a hot weekend of racing.  more details on this race can be found on the previous post.

goldfields cyclassic – two massive days of racing in kalgoorlie with up to $20,000 in the prize pool.  if you are up for it this year, we are organising a transport and accommodation package for club members.  see the previous post for more details.

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 online slots 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. friday 3rd april ride starts under the narrows (sth perth side) at 5:30am spr friday 42.01km (shelley) ride starts at coode st carpark at 6:00am vice presidential good friday 3 dams ride rides start at coode st carpark at 7:00am fast & main groups – public hol 58.97km spr special saturday 4th april ride starts under the narrows (cityside) at 5:30am early lap – earlybird 40.93km spr special all rides start at coode st carpark at 7:00am development group – novice shelley 36.06km spr saturday transitional – trans abernethy 39.96km spr saturday fast & main groups – abernethy rd 48.21km spr saturday sunday 5th april ride starts under the narrows (cityside) at 5:30am early lap – earlybird 40.93km spr special ride starts at coode st carpark at 6:00am beginner dams training – somewhere all rides start at coode st carpark at 7:00am short – khna weir 72.23km spr sunday long – khna trnr obs 94.99km spr sunday monday 6th april ride starts under the narrows (sth perth side) at 5:30am development group – development ride main group – south stock 33.76km spr monday rides start at coode st carpark at 7:00am fast & main groups – public hol 58.97km spr special tuesday 7th april ride starts under the narrows (cityside) at 5:30am spr tuesday 36.37km (river ride) ride starts frasers carpark at 5:45am development group – interval training kings park wednesday 8th april ride starts under the narrows (cityside) at 5:30am spr wednesday 14.22km (uci masters) ride starts raffles bike path at 5:30am development group – stock road repeats thursday 9th april ride starts under the narrows (cityside) at 5:30arm spr thursday 37.26km (cott & freo) ride starts frasers carpark at 5:45am development group – interval training kings park friday 10th april ride starts under the narrows (sth perth side) at 5:30am spr friday 42.01km (shelley)”>previous post for more details.
