Hi all,
Very short blog this week. Not to mention that I lost track of the days and almost forgot to write this.
More Public Holiday riding coming up this week, and hopefully your Festive 500 kms are on track. Enjoy the riding.
There is no racing this week, but check out the racing section below as there is lots of racing coming up. That includes racing opportunities at the Nationals not to mention a few extra crits.
If you have not already done so, make sure you check out the Road Nationals website https://roadnationals.org.au. There is lots of information on the racing – both spectating for the Elite races and participating. SPR’s club entries for the crits and TTT are getting finalised today but the Gran Fondo entries are individual and entries are still open.
Finally, AusCycling is still looking for volunteers – so if you are able to help, please check out the request here and sign up!
See you out on the bike.
Daniel

Juniors Ride — Next Saturday there will be no junior ride as we all take a well deserved Christmas break. Enjoy the festivities with your kids and perhaps consider a … new bike for our juniors 🙂
From the Ride Coordinator — Has everyone had some good holiday rides this past week? There are still more to come! On Saturday we are doing Ewen St. Would you believe that this has not been ridden for over a year? Enjoy the beautiful ocean views once you’ve crested Ewen St and are heading back down the coast. On New Year’s Day we will ride the public holiday north route. This one is always a club favourite.
It’s a bit late for Christmas, but if you fancy a bit of Goose we’ve got the ride for you on Sunday! Grnmt Goose for Short Hills and Zamia Darl Mund Dodd Obs for Long Hills. According to the database this has never been scheduled! It’s a nice long one for those of you doing your Festive 500/1000.
Hoping your 2025 is filled with much fun, adventure and many personal bests on two wheels. Most of all, we wish each and every one of you a safe 2025.
Happy New Year to all SPRouleurs and friends from the Ride Leaders Subcommittee 💚
