Ride Routes 21st – 27th September

With the long weekend this weekend and some good weather, there are some great opportunities to get out on the bike. Between our Saturday rides, Sundays hills rides and Monday Public Holiday ride – all with what looks to be clear weather – you have no excuse not to get some decent kilometres in 🙂

I wanted to provide an update on our Tour of Margaret River preparation for 2024. The photo above is from our TOMR Tuesday Training in Kings Park several weeks back. We’ve been getting some great participation across our teams, so no matter what your training level is, you are most welcome to head to Kings Park Tuesday morning to join our training session.

With fourteen teams in full swing, it looks like it will be a great event. In talking with the Race Subcommittee, I do know that with changes in people’s circumstances there are several spots available if you are interested (Main1 / Main 2 level) – get in touch via race@southperthrouleurs.com.au for more information.

Some great results in the Dwellingup 100 run last weekend – the event had over 600 riders across all distances and categories. Several photos below, and check out the results via the event website and see Facebook for more photos. Special mention to SPR members in the placings:

  1. Steff Van Amerongen – 1st place, 40-49, 100km MTB
  2. Adelia Neethling – 2nd place, 40-49, 100km MTB

And last but not least, huge congratulations to Sam Walker who took home the bronze medal in the 2024 AusCycling Masters and Junior Road National Championships Time Trial for the Women’s Masters 3 category. By one second no less – 29:34.16 vs 29:35.30!! Check out the event, results and some photos on Facebook.

Finally, a shout-out to anyone heading to the Bike it to Ballidu (https://ballidugravel.com.au) this weekend for some gravel action. Enjoy.

See you out on the bike.

Juniors Ride — Unfortunately I will not be able to organise a junior ride on Saturday. I will be busy with a few juniors at Ballidu for the gravel event organised by WestCyle. If you are interested in participating in the event there is still time to register:  https://ballidugravel.com.au/. The event offers the possibility to join the 12km fun ride with a lot of games and activities organised for the kids. For kids over 10, you can get challenged with the 46km ride.

Looking ahead, X-speed has organized a junior race just outside the Velodrome in Midland next week on 28/9. You can find more details here: https://entryboss.cc/races/22150

From the Ride Coordinator — Pick your ride groups wisely! These people are going to be your teammates for the ride and you will be wanting to work together to make the ride as smooth, safe and enjoyable as possible. If gaps open up in your roll throughs, or riders are not rolling through, then please look around and moderate your pace to keep the group together. Don’t forget to call “clear” and “last wheel”.

Please note, the development group currently runs 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month.

This week playing a little catchup on results and photos from recent races. I don’t have full results for the State Champs nor lots of photos for the Midland race, but read on for what I do have 🙂 Thanks to Peel and Midland for putting on these races.

First up, the State Champs (Junior/Kermesse/Para) from 31 August. We had a number of riders in the race with lots of SPR members on the podium 💚💪🏻. Sending a shoutout to Claudia Firmani, Casey Bunton, Toby Brown, Shirley Dow-Vine and Corrie Johnstone. I’ve not seen an official results list but there are a whole lot of photos on Peels’ Facebook page – check them out here, here, here, here, here, here and here.

Last week it as the Pickering Brook Road Race run by Midland. SPR had a number of riders competing – check out the podium photos here and full results here. Congratulations to Sophia Sammons for taking out out 2nd in the Women’s A Grade, and a special mention to Kate Bonner in 4th in what looks to have been a solidly contested finish.

Well done to all!

Finally, a shout-out to anyone heading to the Bike it to Ballidu (https://ballidugravel.com.au) next weekend for some gravel action.

Juniors Ride — This Saturday offers us great weather for a morning ride. Let’s meet at 10:00 AM in Shelley at our usual meeting spot: https://maps.app.goo.gl/EqqgtLwv5CKEWWuc6. Our focus will be on bunch riding skills as we navigate the stretches of Riverton Dr. Next weekend I will be at Ballidu with my daughter to ride the 46km gravel trails.

There is still time to register if you are interested (https://ballidugravel.com.au/), but I will not be able to run the junior session. On the 28 September X-Speed organised a junior racing day out of the Velodrome (see Facebook and Entryboss). This is also a very nice opportunity ofr our kids to test the legs.

From the Ride Coordinator — The weather looks promising for this weekend, which will help those preparing for future events. Take the opportunity to check your bike, so that your ride isn’t interrupted by a mechanical issue.

Please note that the Camel sectors will be ridden in different directions for this Sunday’s hills ride: short (clockwise) and long (anticlockwise).

Please note, the development group currently runs 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month.

Quick update today featuring some photos from the SPR French Alps 2024 trip. I have it on good authority there has been some serious climbing involving, including Col de la Joux Verte, Col des Gets, Col de la Colombiere and Col de la Croix Fry.

Hopefully some dry riding this weekend, and a racing opportunity with Midland Cycle Club.

See you out on the bike.

Juniors Ride — The junior training session is resuming this Saturday starting from Shelley. We will be riding a loop around the suburbs of Shelley, Manning, Salter Point and Rossmoyne. Here is the course: https://connect.garmin.com/modern/course/304879184 (~20km). We will meet here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/jhK5dnUrkjt64kMd7 at 11am.

There is another opportunity for racing on Sunday in Pickering Brook. The event is open to U11 and U13. Check out more details here: https://entryboss.cc/races/21121

From the Ride Coordinator — It’s the start of the month so it is “Step Up Saturday!”

Take this opportunity to see where your riding is at and STEP UP and have a go at riding with that next group above your usual Saturday ride.

Red lights mean STOP. If it’s amber and you’re near the front of the group, call STOPPING so the group slows and stops safely. If some go through, call SPLIT, so the front riders can ease up and wait. We don’t want anyone to feel pressured into shooting a red light.

Please note, the development group currently runs 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month.

Juniors Ride — This Saturday, we won’t have our usual junior training session as we’ll be cheering on our kids at the State Champs! If you’d like to participate in the race, there’s still time to register here: https://entryboss.cc/races/21374.

If racing isn’t your thing, we still encourage you to come out and support all the kids and adults competing. It promises to be a fun and exciting day for everyone!

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.

One way to help maintain a compact group is to delay accelerating when coming out of corners. A good rule of thumb is to count up to the number of riders behind you, before picking up your pace. So if there are 10 riders behind you, count to 10 after the corner before picking up speed.

Try it this week, and enjoy the rides.

Please note, the development group currently runs 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month.

Hi all,

Last weekend was the CX Nationals (I’ll see about a report and photos next week) and the the 99th Collie to Donnybrook Return.

Apart from a very few smiles (Sam B, what was that all about?!), the race looked wet, very wet. Huge kudos to the number of SPR riders who entered and raced, and thanks to Jon Hanson who took the SPR van to the event. And thanks to Collie Cycling Club for running the event!

Check out some of the photos below (and also on Facebook here and here). I think the pain face award goes to Brian S although Stuart G comes are close second. And did I mention it looks wet.

We saw some green in the results (the Collie Donnybrook is a handicap race and pays down to 15th – well done!):

  • Lyndon Greeshaw – 11th
  • Sophia Sammons – Fastest Female

The official results are on Facebook and all the details are online here.

I can’t say that the weather over the weekend will make for ideal riding conditions (again), but I hope you find space for some kms. And Sunday is looking better 🙂

1. WCMCC Dog Hill Road Baldivis – Race 3 of the Club Tour 2024

2. PDCC State Champs (Junior/Kermesse/Para) (31/Aug)

Juniors Ride — The junior ride on Saturday is cancelled given the quite bad weather forecast. Please remember the following events coming up for the juniors:

State Championship on 31/8/2024 (https://entryboss.cc/races/21374): It is a good opportunity for the juniors to get into a proper race with their peers.

Balidu gravel race (https://ballidugravel.com.au/) on 21/9/2024: an opportunity to ride with the kids the 12km family ride event with games and fun. For the more experienced juniors they can get challenged with the “Yes You Canola” 46km ride (minimum age is 10 years).

From the Ride Coordinator — Wasn’t the final stage of the Tour de France Femmes exciting? Especially with the finish on Alpe d’Huez. Truly a race right to the finish!

This weekend we may also have more time to watch La Vuelta as wind & heavy rain is, once again, forecast. It is highly likely that we’ll have wet roads on Saturday, regardless of how the BOM’s predictions for the morning turn out.

Don’t forget that the club and our ride leaders do value your feedback, especially in respect to making our group rides smoother & safer. Please share your thoughts with a committee member or a ride leader at the post ride coffee stop. Please do so respectfully!

No ride leader is scheduled for Transitional or Development this week. However your M4 ride leader will be flexible and run the best ride for the riders who turn up (if any this weekend!).

Please note, the development group currently runs 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month.

Good evening all,

There have been some great SPR results over the past few weeks, and some shoutouts for the this weekend.

First up, check out the results for 2024 AusCycling WA State Cyclocross Championship results held several weekends back (podium photos below).

  • Oscar Barratt – 1st place, JM15
  • Anna Schwartz – 3rd place, WMA
  • Toby Brown – 2nd place, MB

Special shoutout to Oscar Barratt for his juniors win – great result 💚💪🏻! This weekend Oscar is over at the 2024 AusCycling Cyclocross National Championships – SPR has a few green jerseys in the mix at the CX Nationals. Kudos to AusCycling for putting together profiles of the WA riders (see link above and photos below of the SPR members racing).

Go hard.

Last weekend, we had a number of SPR members riding in the Backroads Gravel 2024, riding the 100 Mile race:

  • Marcus Van Dalen – 1st place, Mens 60+
  • Kate Bonner – 1st place, Womens 19-29
  • Damon Sunderland – 3rd place, Mens 50-59

(*) I don’t have a podium photo for Kate so included a gratuitous Seven photo 🙂

This weekend is also the 99th Collie to Donnybrook Return and the WestCycle Canola Classic. Jon Hanson is taking the SPR van to Collie on Saturday. If you’re there I am reliably informed that you should look for the van near the library below the pub. Come to the van after the race for a cold drink.

I can’t say that the weather over the weekend will make for ideal riding conditions, but I hope you find space for some kms.

Juniors Ride — Congratulation to Oscar Barratt winning the U15 CX state championship on 4/Aug and also well done to the 3 SPR juniors who participated in the 10km family ride in Nabawa (Backroads) last weekend.

Unfortunately the weather forecast shows wet conditions with heavy falls on Saturday morning. So the junior session is cancelled for this week.

From the Ride Coordinator — More late nights or essential catchup viewing with the Tour de France Femmes taking place at the moment & La Vuelta starting this weekend!

The weather forecast is not looking good for the weekend and in particular the period of our Saturday rides. If it is wet many ride leaders may choose not to ride. Those of you who will ride, please take extra care & stay safe.

No ride leader is scheduled for Transitional or Development this week. However your M4 ride leader will be flexible and run the best ride for the riders who turn up (weather depending).

The mention is a little late if you didn’t already know about then event, but sending love to all the SPR members riding this weekend. And looking forward to some great photos 🙂

There is however still time to get involved in the 99th Collie to Donnybrook Return and the WestCycle Canola Classic.

From the Ride Coordinator — We’ve had a positive response to last Saturday’s “Step Up Saturday”. The next one is the 7th September so put it in your diary!

How good has the Olympic cycling been so far? Definitely worth watching it on catchup.

This week’s ride route is Ridgehill. We haven’t ridden this for a while. Please be aware that part of Helena Valley Rd is currently one way due to drainage works being carried out (expected completion date is December). SPR has an infamous tradition of having some groups go the wrong way around! Don’t go the wrong way! Otherwise you have to go around the roundabout and back up Ridgehill!

No ride leader is scheduled for Development this week.

Please note, the development group currently runs 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month.

For those keen to get some out and ride some different roads than our usual metro rides, look no further than the WestCycle Canola Classic coming up 18th August. Again, get in touch with comdev@southperthrouleurs.com.au if you have questions or want to find out who else from SPR is involved.

There should be good weather this weekend, so our Saturday and Sunday rides should be very pleasant!

Juniors Ride — This Saturday offers us promising weather for a morning ride. We will meet at 10:30 AM in Shelley at our usual meeting spot: https://maps.app.goo.gl/EqqgtLwv5CKEWWuc6.

Our focus will be on bunch riding skill practice. 

From the Ride Coordinator — It’s the start of the month so it is “Step Up Saturday!”

For this occasion we thought one of the flatter ride routes would be appropriate. According to Mainroads the roadworks on William St, at the railway crossing, are no longer an issue, so we’re going with Canning Vale & Welshpool for the Fast & Main rides. The last time we rode this was in October 2023. Please remember that there is a tricky lane change when turning right from Nicholson Rd onto Albany Hwy. You will need to keep an eye out on Nicholson Rd once you have gone through the lights at the T-junction with Spencer Rd & crossed the bridge.

Take this opportunity to see where your riding is at and STEP UP and have a go at riding with that next group above your usual Saturday ride.

No ride leader is scheduled for Transitional or Development this week. However your M4 ride leader will be flexible and run the best ride for the riders who turns up.

So the impact of the rain on cycling … depends. Unfortunately, Peel’s Harvey Team Series Race 3 this weekend has been canceled due to weather.

There seems to have been different views regarding the rain when it came to the WA Cyclocross Numbat Cup #5 that ran last weekend (see results and photos here and here).

“The cyclocross on the weekend was horrible.”

“Mud cravings satisfied.”

“Reports from others about the swamp like conditions was that they had a lot of fun playing in the mud. Some saying they’ve never seen so much mud. From the pictures no one was spared.”

If you are interested in racing, there are lots of opportunities. There is the Collie to Donnybrook for the road, the WA Cyclocross Championships and Masters racing most weeks.

All the details regarding upcoming racing below. Do get in touch via the Facebook, website or the race@southperthrouleurs.com.au email if you are interested.

Juniors Ride — Unfortunately, the weather tomorrow around 10/11am looks to be wet and for this reason I decided to cancel our weekly appointment (again 😢).

We’ll have to wait another week and hope for better weather.

From the Ride Coordinator — Let’s be mindful of the recent rain that’s swept through our region. While it’s refreshing for nature, it does mean our roads are now littered with debris, increasing the risk of punctures. Remember to pack your essentials – spare tubes, tire levers, plugs, pumps, and CO2 canisters – and ensure you’re familiar with how to use them.

The unsettled weather might also thin out our usual group, leading to a mix of abilities among riders. Let’s adjust our pace accordingly, aiming for a safer and more inclusive ride. It might mean taking it easier than planned, but it’ll ensure everyone has a great and incident-free cycling experience.

Please note, the development group currently runs 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month.

If you are interested in racing, there are lots of opportunities to do that with SPR. There are a number of clubs that put on excellent races, both the summer season (crits) and road races during winter. And the Race Subcommittee provides excellent support for any members who put their hand up to give racing a go (get involved!). There are some excellent opportunities coming up with Race 3 of the PDCC Harvey Teams Series coming up next week and the classic Collie to Donnybrook next month. Not to mention Masters racing most weeks.

And to top it off, we have the Tour of Margaret River in the mix. Our teams have been put together (14 teams this year 💚), but having said that, do reach out if you missed out and are interested – we have a reserve list and you will likely get a call as life happens and we often need to make changes.

All the details regarding upcoming racing below. Do get in touch via the Facebook, website or the race@southperthrouleurs.com.au email if you are interested.

Final Call for Sponsors — SPR Tour of Margaret River 2024. The Tour of Margaret River three day cycling event has been a key success of the South Perth Rouleurs through the Clubs commitment to providing a well organised, safe and social ride experience. The hard work and dedication of each and every cyclist in the months leading up to the event and its race volunteers ensure a quality experience for all.

I hope we can meet next week, weather permitting.

From the Ride Coordinator — As the sun peeks over the horizon and paints the sky in hues of pink and orange, we gear up for another SPR Saturday ride. With the early hours come responsibilities – ensuring our bikes are equipped with bright, reliable lights isn’t just a precaution; it’s essential for safety, especially as we navigate dimly lit streets. Beyond safety, respecting traffic signals, including those pesky red lights, keeps us in harmony with other road users and showcases our commitment to responsible cycling.

Of course, there’s a reward waiting at the end of our journey: the anticipation of great coffee shared among friends, recounting our adventures on two wheels.

Please note, the development group currently runs 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month.
