represent. after the other weeks post showing a spr branded bike, i was looking at some other examples of people representing spr. i often get emails or facebook shows me lots of people showing the club colours away from perth. so sarah is in italy at lake como visiting the ghisallo da bellagio, katrina has moved to chile and is climbing mountains there, while matt is in las vegas checking out team tibco. with the club the size that it is, there was always people on the move riding in different locations. send in any good pics you have or post them to any of the spr facebook sites and you may end up as a blog header.
ride leader sponsor – the ride leader sponsor for may is Carton & Cowater. bringing you water in a more environmentally friendly packaging. Carton & Co is a Perth based company trying to lighten the load on our planet.
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.
bike lights – it is now at that time of year where if you are doing the earlybird ride, then you need a good set of lights. last year i wrote a long post about bike lights and what we expect when riding in a group. basically, bigger/brighter is not always better. please read the post take note of what effects your lights have on the rest of the group. take any suggestions on board as at the end of the day, it is for the safety of the group as a whole.
spr kit – the latest shipment of kit will be available for pickup after the saturday main ride. there are a few minor items on back order (some gloves & socks) but the main kit has arrived. the one-off lycra socks will also be available. the weather may effect this, so contact andrew via kit@southperthrouleurs.com.au if you want to make other arrangements.
goldfields classic – entries have closed for this race but we are still organising the logistics behind getting people there and back. if you have already been in contact with the race committee about travelling with the club, then some payment is now due. please see the previous post for more details.
spr road race champs – the club road champs has been updated after the first pickering brook race. if you have raced in any of the 4 races listed, see how you are tracking in club points. the leaderboard can be found in the menu above or here.
ride routes – just to make things consistent for the month of may, it looks like they are again predicting heavy showers for saturday morning. not quite the stormy conditions from last week but it may be enough to thin the numbers significantly. it has been an above average month for rainfall, but still well short of the maximum for may so this weather should not be unexpected. however, it just seems to line up with when we want to ride.
