The SPR ladies meet the first Monday of every month (or the following Monday in the event of a public holiday) for a ride around the river.

The next ride is this Monday, 11th March, commencing 5:30am from under the Narrows, city side.

The route is the SPR Thursday route….with all of the shortcuts (Warrath, Kintail)

It finishes at the Raffles, or Atomic for those not rushing to work.

No one is left behind, so regardless of which SPR group you ride with,  come along and join us.  It is a great morning out.

SPR kit orders have opened again. These will close at midnight, Sunday 10 March and you can expect to be wearing your new purchases on 20 April 2013.

There are a broad range of products available, including winter jackets, gloves and bootie covers.  We will have a few winter jacket samples (not for sizing) abailable at Dome after the Saturday ride on the 2nd and 9th of March.

Essential information for ordering is below, or you can download yourSPR kit wishlist_March 2013.

Who can purchase the kit?

All current financial members of the South Perth Cycle Club (South Perth Rouleurs) may order the kit.  This means you need a current CyclingWA membership where you have chosen South Perth Rouleurs as your local club.  People with Extraordinary Memberships may also purchase a kit.  This type of membership is for those that regularly ride with the group but are members and have insurance through other nationally recognised associations (MTBA, TriAUS, BMX, Audax) or another affiliated club (e.g. ATTA).  More info can be found under the Members section.

If you are not a member as of 10 March 2013, your order won’t be processed.

 Emma Goodwin and fellow female Rouleurs have been discussing the addition of an “all girls” ride to the SPR calendar.  Whilst the girls may be known to chat a little bit, every now and then we do turn our words into actions… so…

Route: Thursday river loop with all of the short cuts to shorten the ride a little and flatten it out a bit.    http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/163184328 

Pace: at a comfortable speed to suit all riders in the group. Absolutely no-one will be left behind.  

Aim: to socialise, have fun, meet new people within the club and improve our group riding skills.

The kit orders have now closed for January 2013 fulfilment. Your next opportunity to purchase SPR kit will come again in February 2013 for April delivery.
