SPR Training and Development – Weekly giddy up!

SPR Training and Development offer a range of opportunities for aspiring riders to improve their cycling skills as well as fitness in a friendly and supportive environment. Thank you to our generous volunteers for your time and commitment to these training rides!

In the wet weather, there may not be a group leader in attendance every single week. If you have made it out of house and there is no one there, don’t be disheartened, ride anyway! You’ve done the hard part by getting out of bed!

  • Make sure you have lights when you attend these rides.

COMING UP!

– Friday development rides are still on!

– Wednesday Development Stockies are still on!

– SPR Race Information night & Race Buddy Program meet up – Thursday 6pm DOME .

Soon, we will launch our new and exciting Race Buddy Program. Our program will feature advice and support from the cream of our SPR racing crop. It’s for all levels of racing, as well as beginners or riders who are looking to make that first step into racing.  Stay tuned and if you want in on this fantastic opportunity please email; development@southperthrouleurs.com.au

At the end of every month you will have the opportunity to acknowledge someone for their helpful deeds, outstanding volunteering, or even just lending a hand or wheel when you needed it most.

We’ve all been there when we are enduring struggle town and some helpful soul comes to our aid. Events run smoothly because of people giving up their time to be a volunteer. Group rides are ridden safely because someone has given up their hit out to help others on their ride. Whatever the good deed, please feel free to thank them here!

It’s Ladies Day this Saturday!

This Saturday is LADIES DAY at SPR!

SPR Race Info & Race Buddy night – 6pm – Thursday, 9th July – DOME Westralia Plaza

SPR Members are invited to attend the SPR Race Information & Race Buddy Program ‘meet up’ night. Nibbles will be provided.

Our beloved club is very fortunate to have such talent frequenting our training rides and supporting our club members.  One of which is our very own Tom Barratt. He has kindly offered to support and kick off our Race Buddy Program with a race information presentation.

– Thursday, 9th July at 6pm at the DOME Westralia Plaza.

– Thank you to Toby Brown for providing a familiar venue.

It will be a casual set up in which Tom will chat openly about common mistakes, little gems that he has learnt from others, and also what he has learnt personally about racing and training.  A golden opportunity if you are interested in giving racing a go or want to improve on your own racing whatever your level may be.  There will be Q&A afterwards and an opportunity to meet the wonderful selection of race buddies we have willing to help our members.
Thank you to those who have supported this program. Registrations are still open, so don’t delay! If you would like to be apart of this exciting new program, please register via email;
development@southperthrouleurs.com.au

SPR Training and Development

2 Comments

The SPR Training and Development program has a great range of opportunities for aspiring riders to improve their individual & group skills as well as fitness in a friendly and supportive environment. This is the perfect development pathway to help you mature from beginner through to riding the week day and the weekend SPR Main rides.

COMING UP!

Swan Valley Cyclo is on Sunday – 28th June!!!  Registrations close Tuesday midnight 23rd June. Hurry up and get on a team!

If you need help to find a team email; development@southperthrouleurs.com.au

The Friday development ride is brilliant way to exercise your roll throughs (see below for details). Gather your team together this Friday morning and have a practise hit out! There is also a meeting point at 5:45am from the Canning Bridge rowing club car park.

A moderately paced (main 4/3) mixed team is looking for members to do the 64km distance, if you are interested please put your name down. Shane White is the team leader, the team is called SPR Mixed Moderators. Get on board!!

SPR – Free ‘Race Buddy’ Program sign up this Saturday!

5 Comments

Dog hill July 14

Come down to the DOME after the Saturday ride, enjoy the quarterly breakfast and sign up for the SPR Race Buddy Program!

If you have experience in racing (no matter what level or genre), why not become a race buddy? Share your knowledge with people who don’t know what to expect, have questions or would like some guidance.

Even if you are just a little bit race curious, come and mingle with our SPR racers to talk candidly about racing in general, your concerns, or specific questions.

If you can’t make it down on Saturday and would like a buddy or to be a buddy, then register asap in the comments or via email; development@southperthrouleurs.com.au
