i bought my time trial bike way back in 2005 when it was actually a triathlon bike.  i don’t change bikes very often and i guess it it mainly because i am an odd body shape.  long legs with a short torso means that i have trouble getting comfortable on an off the shelf frame.  old tech bike frames like my quintana roo have been superseded by uber-aero looking frames like the shiv and p5.  however, to me that is really just the 1% difference.  the majority of your race still comes from inside of you, and at this point of the race (4kms in) it really, really sucked.  however, what i thought was important was showing the club colours at this event.  and there certainly were a lot of spr green machines flying around the course.

regenerativeBodywork_finalride leader sponsor – the ride leader for march is Regenerative Bodywork Remedial and Sport Massage.  owned and operated by SPR member Emily Lee, Regenerative Bodywork Remedial and Sport Massage utilises a range of techniques such as deep tissue, trigger point therapy, myofascial release & joint mobilisation to effectively relieve pain and tension throughout the whole body.  for more info please see the previous 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.

Feedback1survey feedback – if you filled in the club survey we did last year there was an opportunity to include some written feedback.  if you did add anything, i have responded to each and everyone.  see the previous post to find your reply.

history cyclingmuseum of perth – tucked in behind henry saw which is tucked into grand lane which is tucked into the back of the murray st mall, is the museum of perth.  this month’s exhibition is on our hidden cycling history.  here you will discover the history of cycling in perth and find that it has been here longer than the white tradie ute.  see the website for more details and drop in for a coffee at henry saw.

20160310_130617beyond the bike exhibition– as part of bike week, there is a small exhibition of tony lendrum’s beyond the bike project.  as you can see from the picture on the header, the walls either side of henry saw have been decorated with some of his photos and the riders text is also included.  although, many of you have seen the photos online, this is an opportunity to hopefully attract a few more viewers from passing traffic.  while you are there, check out the museum of perth cycling exhibition and grab a coffee from henry’s.

bike_sticker_heiko-300x225bike stickers – the bike name stickers that we ordered earlier in the year will be available for collection at the coffee shop on saturday.  if you cannot collect them, send an email through to the club and we will make alternative arrangements.

spr road race champs – off the back of the crit championships will be the road race championships for 2016.  there are a number of races identified that riders will accumulate point for.  a change in the scoring system this year to try to allow those that have a go at ‘a’ grade a better chance of getting points.  please see the previous post for more info.

ride routes – i have added in this friday to the ride routes as it is a public holiday and there are a few extra rides on.  just be mindful that the vp 3 dams ride that is on tomorrow is a main 1 pace ride over 150kms.  a couple of years ago we had to leave a few behind by the time we got to mundaring.  for those that are doing the friday public holiday ride, just be aware that Dome will be closed, so someone needs to find a coffee shop that is open.  monday is also a public holiday, so there is lots of opportunities to ride many kilometres this weekend.
