Ride Routes 19 – 25th August

Good evening all. The weather looks good for the weekend, so make sure you find some time on the bike 💚

Just a couple of things to put in front of you this evening. First up, we have put out an EOI for coming onto the team as an SPR Ride Leader – do consider if this is a contribution that you would willing to make. Having a good-sized group of Ride Leaders with new people coming onto team helps us to maintain what is in many ways the centrepiece of what makes SPR … SPR.

Give it some thought, and do not hesitate to reach out to Greg Jones on development@southperthrouleurs.com.au if you have any questions or fill in any EOI – link in last week’s blog.

Second, don’t forget to sign up for our SPR Family Day… La Vuelta style… see below.

Final note, there are some good opportunities for riding coming up in the Canola Classic (see our post several week’s back) and the Bike it to Ballidu Gravel (apparently, the early bird is back).

Enjoy your riding, and hopefully see you for coffee.

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

1. CCC 98th Collie to Donnybrook & Return Cycling Classic

Hopefully, you’ve entered the Collie to Donnybrook as entries have closed. If you are racing, I wish you all the best and every success in this classic race!

Juniors Ride — Juniors rides will resume on September 2nd, 2023, and we look forward to continuing our cycling adventures

 

From the Ride Coordinator — More good riding weather on the way this weekend – not quite Goldilocks temperatures yet, but we’ll take it any day! Perfect for those starting their TOMR training – a double on Saturday and/or Sunday hills is ideal training for the event – just adapt your pace/group to match your ability as your fitness builds.

Whatever rides you choose to do, please familiarise yourself with the route. Whether that’s reading up the night before, loading it into the Garmin/Wahoo, or putting a sticky note on your crossbar, make sure you know which way the group is going, and if you’re not sure about an upcoming turn, ask someone in the group ahead of time – we’re there to help each other.

Roadworks are still ongoing in Applecross on Melville Beach Pde and the Strand so if you haven’t been doing early morning rides, take note and expect detours.
