Goldfields Cyclassic — The Goldfields Cyclassic is a very special cycling experience with a history going back to 1928. It is a 2-day graded handicap race from Kalgoorlie to Leonora on the long weekend 3 -4 June 2023; 132km to Menzies day 1, 100km to Leonora day 2. Flat out and furious, how can you resist. In 2023 the event organisers will host a separate mens and ladies handicap race on day 2.

For those looking for a ride there is the Community Challenge where teams of 2 to 4 share the 132km distance.

Registrations early bird finishes 21 April: race $160, community challenge $40 and both include return bike transfers Perth to the event and dinner Saturday night in Menzies. You will need an AusCycling race all disciplines licence to enter the race or a standard AusCylcing lifestyle licence for the community challenge.

Transfers: the charter flight package costs $400 and includes all transfers. Fly up Saturday and return from Leonora Sunday. This is heavily discounted and seats are limited so recommend to book when registering. Saturday night accommodation in Menzies is not included in the package.

For a more leisurely version you can take the train to Kalgoorlie or drive, up Friday back Monday, though you will need to book accommodation in Kalgoorlie Friday and Sunday and Saturday night in Menzies.

Accommodation: if taking the charter flight, you will need to book a night in Menzies for the Saturday night. For all accommodation options check out https://www.cyclassic.com.au/registration-travel/

Please contact Andrew Ballam vp@southperthrouleurs.com.au if interested in racing or Carol comdev@southperthrouleurs.com.au for the community challenge.

Racing this weekend – If you want to race, or get in on the action watching others race, read on.

1. CCC Tom Lowry Memorial – Road Race Saturday 29th April (entries closed, but enjoy the race!)

2. WCMCC Bibra Lake Criterium

 

From the Ride Coordinator — After the miserable rain these last few days, we have some Goldilocks weather back this weekend. With slippery roads around, remember to call “Stopping” early if you’re at the front of a group approaching an amber light, and only call “Rolling” if the full group will get through safely. As always, good communication makes riding in groups safer and more fun.

Reabold & Cottesloe on Saturday – a scenic course that we haven’t ridden for ages.

Enjoy!
