If you don’t see it, please get in touch with our Secretary Carol Dowse on admin@southperthrouleurs.com.au.

Juniors Ride — All the details for the juniors ride this Saturday.

📆 Saturday (15/3) – 10:30 AM
📍 Meeting point: Under the Mt Henry Bridge (https://maps.app.goo.gl/rFwTfCrdmiqznMrv8)
🔹 Route: https://connect.garmin.com/modern/course/337069988

  • Start by riding along the freeway PSP to the Farrington exit (~5 km, circled in the map).
  • The group will split for fast-paced training, continuing to the Willeri Dr exit (for ~7.5 km).
  • After a short break, we’ll ride back, regrouping at Farrington Rd before finishing together in recovery mode.
  • Young riders and beginners can join, but I would recommend them to ride back to Mt Henry bridge when we reach Farrington Rd (for a total distance of ~10km). In this case your child MUST be accompanied by a parent all the time. There will be no support on your way back.

🚗 Parking Information:
There’s a large car park under the bridge and near the nearby park. If no spots are available, consider parking in the surrounding streets or at Deep Water Point. Be sure to allow extra time to park so you’re ready to start at 10:30 AM.

From the Ride Coordinator — One of the reasons we like to keep the size of Saturday groups to around 15 riders, is to limit the physical length of the group on the road. Longer groups are a greater disruption to traffic, and more susceptible to being split at lights. Another way to help maintain a compact group is for those on the front to delay accelerating when coming out of corners.
