Ride Routes 28th September – 4th October

There are now two rides out of Margaret River on the weekend of 12/13 October 2024; the TdGracetown on Saturday and the TdCowaramup on Sunday. Of course, you can do both rides for those who want a greater challenge or training for the TOMR. Both have a similar format: start/finish from the same location each being a winery, multiple distances/climbs and funds going to support local communities and charities. 

There is still some accommodation available in Margaret River through SPR for 3 nights; in Friday out Monday, shorter stay if preferred for the same discounted price. Please contact Carol or Danielle via comdev@southperthrouleurs.com.au to put in a request.

Register via these links: Sunday TdCowaramup; most SPR members are registering with this event, organised by Perth Integrated Health; note fee increase on 1 October. Saturday TdGracetown, a co-organiser of last years event with the same name. We recommend that you choose the one that best suites you.

Cheers,
Carol

Juniors Ride — Huge congratulations to Claudia, Francois, and Morne for completing the 46 km gravel ride in Ballidu last Saturday in the U13 category!:tada::man-biking::woman-biking: An impressive achievement!

For those not racing at the X-Speed junior rally (https://entryboss.cc/races/22150), there will be a junior ride session this Saturday starting in Shelley.

The appointment is at 10am here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/2xq6gQmarv9dH4sz8. We will focus on sprinting and paceline, riding for approximately ~1 hour.

From the Ride Coordinator — Communication is the key to a safe and successful group ride. When you are the rider at the front, you must call out all hazards(e.g. parked car, potholes) and indicate route directions, and following riders must pass it back down the group. Calls from the back of the group must also be passed to the front of the group. Remember that it can be even more difficult to hear in windy conditions.

Please note, the development group currently runs 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month.
