Ride Routes 22nd – 28th July

Call for Sponsors — SPR Tour of Margaret River 2023. The Tour of Margaret River three day cycling event has been a key success of the South Perth Rouleurs through the Clubs commitment to providing a well organised, safe and social ride experience. The hard work and dedication of each and every cyclist in the months leading up to the event and its race volunteers ensure a quality experience for all.

We are proud of the the opportunities we have provided for our members to participate in what is arguably the best event of its kind in Australia. This year we are looking at around 15 teams, which means a sea of SPR green 💚

And here in lies an opportunity… sponsorship enables us a club to enhance the experience for members of our teams — through event-specific club kit and the like — providing a sense camaraderie and identity, whilst at the same time promoting local businesses through involvement with the sport of cycling.

A real win-win.

If this is you or your business we would love to hear from you!

Please get in touch via race@southperthrouleurs.com.au.

We will provide preference to any club members who would like to sponsor, but also consider sharing this opportunity with any businesses that you know of that might be interested.

Juniors Ride (Saturday 22 July) — After a few exercise sessions focused on improving our young riders’ bike skills through engaging games, it’s time to take things up a notch and build up their endurance by tackling a proper course! You can check out the course here:

Spanning approximately 12 kilometers, this ride will challenge our young riders and provide them with a rewarding experience. We have planned a delightful stop at Dome (Deep Water Point), where the kids can enjoy a well-deserved treat of ice cream, serving as a delicious reward for their efforts.

The meeting point for this adventure will be at the Holy Family Church car park in Como, conveniently located at https://goo.gl/maps/pzQcsdXYFXi19Vtw7. We kindly request all participants to gather there at 10:30 AM sharp. The estimated return time home is around 12:30 PM, allowing for a satisfying morning of cycling and fun.

Furthermore, we would like to inform you that this upcoming ride will be the last one for the next four weeks. Our junior ride leader, Giovanni, will be temporarily away visiting his family in Italy. Therefore, we will be taking a break from organised rides during this period.

Please note that our rides will resume on September 2nd, 2023, and we look forward to continuing our cycling adventures.

During this break, we encourage everyone to continue practicing and enjoying their own rides with their parents.

 

From the Ride Coordinator — Perfect winter riding weather this weekend – but the roads could still be a little slippery after all the rain this week so please go easy on corners and roundabouts. Saturday Main route is Collier Dianella, a newish route that had a recent safety improvement following rider feedback. We now cross the railway line in Guilford just after crossing Tonkin Hwy and then dog-leg right into Railway Pde before turning left into Collier Rd.

Sunday Long Hills is also one a newer one – with familiar roads, but Repatriation loop counter-clockwise. Remember to slow down and turn right into Forest Rd before the T-junction at the bottom of the descent of Patterson.
