New kit

Kit is in…

Late mail…

The kit order that closed at the beginning of April has arrived and I am just sorting it now.  It will be available for collection from the DOME over the next two Saturdays.

Unfortunately one of the airbags got separated from its brothers and sisters en route from Tweed Heads (apparently it decided to spend the day in Brisbane!?!) so it will be arriving at the beginning of next week.

Remember that if you can’t pick up from the DOME you have the option of organising pick up from me kit@southperthrouleurs.com.au, or going to the ‘shop’ section of this site and paying for postage.

The next kit order will close on June 30th for delivery early to mid August so follow the links on the kit page to place your order.

Kit shop closing extended…

You too can look as good as Jeremy…you just need to get yourself into the new kit!

With all of the excitement around the UWCT qualifiers last weekend we forgot to remind you that the kit order was closing so we have extended the closing date on the current order until close of business on Monday April 6th 2015.  Delivery will be in early May so  you should get in now to get your winter needs sorted.

Remember, you need to be a current club member in order to purchase club kit so if your membership isn’t up to date go here first to get it sorted.

To place your order go to the Cannibal – Customer Login;

Password : southperth2015

Any problems or queries – kit@southperthrouleurs.com.au.

Note that the 3/4 length bibs are made with winter weight Super Roubaix material as the default.  If you would like 3/4 knicks in the lighter weight lycra just make a note of this at check out, and perhaps also email me at kit@southperthrouleurs.com.au.

New Kit Day!!

The new kit has arrived and will be available for you to pick up at the Dome on Saturday!! We’re assuming that most people will be there as it is the club AGM this week…although only 19 people have indicated their attendance so far.  Click here and let us know you are coming…

If you aren’t able to make it on Saturday email me at kit@southperthrouleurs.com.au and we’ll make alternative arrangements.

Please note that this is now the club’s registered kit and as such it’s important for those who race to update their wardrobe.  It will be great to see it make its first outing at the State Crit Champs on Saturday afternoon!!  Registrations close midnight Thursday (19/03/15).

The next order for kit will close at close of business on Tuesday March 31st 2015 so you have less than 2 weeks to get organised.  Delivery will be in early May so it’s a good idea to get your winter needs sorted.

New kit

The kit shop is open!!

The kit sub-committee is pleased to announce that the kit shop is now open to accept your orders for the new club kit!!!

And the even better news is that 10 lucky club members who place an order in this initial run will get a jersey and knicks absolutely free*!

Remember, you need to be a current club member in order to purchase club kit so if your membership isn’t up to date go here first to get it sorted.

The order page will remain open until the close of business on Monday January 26th 2015 so you have less than 2 weeks to get organised.  Delivery of the first run of kit should then be in the first week of March.

If you still aren’t certain of sizing Heiko will be providing one last chance to try the sizing kit at the Dome after this Saturday’s ride (17/01/15).

Just a couple of notes:

  1. Those ladies who wanted a jersey the same size as the Kids Size 12  just order the Kids Size 12 jersey.  The specs of the children’s jerseys have been changed so that they now come with a full length zipper.
  2. Note that the 3/4 length bibs are made with winter weight Super Roubaix material as the default.  If you would like 3/4 knicks in the lighter weight lycra just make a note of this at check out, and perhaps also email me at kit@southperthrouleurs.com.au.
*Free kit – on completion of the first order 10 members will be chosen at random to receive a refund to the value of $205.60, which is the cost of a standard jersey and a pair of bib knicks.  The draw will be conducted to the club’s usual high standards and as such will likely be done by Ben and Danny!

 

 

Monday SPR Chicks Recovery Ride

The SPR Chicks continue to go from strength to strength and this Monday just gone saw a huge turn out for the Ladies Only recovery ride.

If you weren’t already aware of this ride,  it meets in Kings Park each Monday at  6am (car park behind Frasers, near the toilets)  and gets back by 7am.  It’s a very civilized 24km ride at around 25km/hr.  The all important coffee afterwards is normally at Riverview Cafe on Mount Street.

Most important part of the ride!

All ladies are welcome…the more the merrier!  The ride route will hopefully appear under the Club Training/Ride Routes section of this site soon…

For more information on what the SPR Chicks get up to feel free to have a look at their Facebook page – SPR Chicks Facebook Page

 

New club kit for 2015

It’s time to unveil the much anticipated new club kit for 2015!!!

The club’s kit sub-committee has been working very hard behind the scenes, debating kit philosophy, evaluating suppliers, discussing logistics, and finally working on designs.  We’ve done the best job we can and hope that members will be pleased with the direction we have taken.

Our club president modelling the new look (I believe he may be available for other assignments and can be booked through Kate…)

We are very close to being ready to accept our first orders, but to get the ball rolling, here’s a taste of what you will all be wearing next season.

The new kit will be manufactured by Cannibal.  Those of you who have been around for a while will know that this was our previous kit supplier.  There were a couple of reasons that we moved away from Cannibal for the last kit but we have been working with them and they have fixed these issues, so we are very pleased to get them back on board.

Cannibal produce a very high quality product, and significantly they make all of their kit here in Australia.  The stuff has also proven that it lasts…you’ll regularly see Micheal Bonner getting around in SPR Cannibal kit from five or six years ago!

There will be sizing kit available to try on at our unofficial clubhouse (Dome Westralia Plaza) for the next couple of weeks after our Saturday morning ride.  There will also be kit sub-committee members on hand to answer any questions you might have.

Information on ordering will be available within the next fortnight so stay tuned…

SPR Rocks!

The SPR traveling party is now safely back in Perth after another epic road trip to Kalgoorlie for the annual Goldfields Cyclassic.  Doubtless you will be hearing and reading a number of recounts of some fantastic rides over the weekend with SPR riders putting in some awesome performances, and some of them taking home serious prize money this year!

In the meantime I’d just like to give a shout out and a HUGE thank you to the hardworking volunteers who selflessly gave up their long weekend so that some of us could ride ride our bikes.  Without these fantastic people we simply could not have done the weekend with the ease with which it was done.

The next time you see Shaw Goh, Brodie Brown, Cathi Dixon or Suzie Boehmer please congratulate them on doing an amazing job.  It is people like these that make SPR the great club that it is!!
