so a very hectic week in brisbane for me which has pushed the ride routes publishing out by a little bit. had a team dinner at my boss’s house tonight so i am only just pulling this together now (22:42 brisbane time). it looks like i have missed all that bad winter weather as well as it has been a pleasant 24 deg here. unfortunately no bike to ride though. and the instragram feed shows that i am not the only one in a different time zone. still a few away enjoying the european summer and showing off the spr green.
ride leader sponsor – the ride leader sponsor for august is Chaotic Energy. they are an exercise and rehabilitation centre with a difference. the general exercise membership gives you access to state of the art equipment (including a number of wahoo kickr’s for those rainy days) and includes personalised gym programming and ongoing support to achieve your goals. the calm and professional atmosphere has specifically been created to enable you to get the most out of your training.
spr tour de france sweepstakes – the tour has finished for another year and team sky has taken the win and most of the prize money. thanks to everyone that entered the sweeps as it gave us someone to cheer for during the late nights. check out the results on the sweeps leaderboard page .
entertainment books – we will again be selling entertainment books this year through the club. the digital versions actually come online now and last years don’t finish till the end of june allowing you twice as many offers for 3 months. check out the links on the previous post to find out more.
saturday start locations – we have revamped the group start locations on saturday morning. please have a look at the map so you know where your group will congregate. this makes it easier for ride leaders to give you a briefing before the ride starts. see the previous post for more details.
spr juniors – we have started our saturday juniors rides and we will be ridng again this week as long as the weather holds out. this is for kids 10-15 yrs old and must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. the route is listed below and involves laps in kings park. it will be between 25-30kms by the time you get back to the carpark, so ensure your kids can cope with that.
