Just a brief post tonight. Key reminder is that the Kit Shop is open now for the next order. Until 4 June.
This includes National Kit – particularly pertinent for recent Gran Fondo and Gravel Worlds qualifiers. Nice one.
It looks like we stay dry the weekend. Enjoy. For those interested in racing, the West Coast Masters winter season has kicked off, complete with a team points completion. Day Licenses available so plenty of opportunity to try it out! (you need a WCMCC license not AusCycling license)
See you out on the bike.

SPR TOMR 2023 EOI Open — SPR is pleased to formally launch the ToMR 2023 campaign, and call for Expressions of Interest from riders, volunteers, and/or sponsors, who are considering joining the SPR team for this year’s event.
This is not a locked in commitment rather a starting point for contact in the future and further information.
Please use the “I’m interested” link and answer the few brief questions. This will enable the Race Subcommittee to gather information for everything from accommodation to team composition.
We want to ensure that we enable everyone that wants to participate to do so.
Thanks!

From the Ride Coordinator — The weather is on board with us again this weekend – albeit a little on the chilly side so make sure you dress appropriately for 5 degree minimum 🥶. Good quality long gloves make a world of difference, and allow for shifting and braking with full control.
On Saturday the main ride does, Karrinyup which for some reason we have not ridden since late 2021, although most of the route will be very familiar from similar routes. Sunday’s long hills route is one of the prettiest rides we do, and well worth the 1,000+ metres of climbing IMO. Don’t miss it if you have the chance.
WARNING: There are new roadworks and an unsealed gravel surface on The Strand in Applecross, just after the steep descent down Majestic hill (Fraser Rd). This will affect most 5.30am rides including Saturday EBR. Please take extra care and warn fellow riders on the approach.
