The inaugural SPR Easter Camp is on!!

When: Easter this year is Friday the 22nd of April to Monday the 25th of April 2011.

Where: The Shed in Margaret River

The Shed has all of the facilities we need for the camp including kitchen, dorms, lounge area, heaps of room for bike storage, table tennis etc.

There is also 300 acres for people to pitch tents on for those who would prefer a tent paradise to the dorm beds.

Here is the link to The Shed’s information page and photos.

ADDRESS – 5103 Caves Road – Look for Margaret River Venison Shop, just South of Gracetown turn off. Use the lane down the right hand side of shop and the go through gate

Cost: Adults $25 per head per night and kids 13 and under $10 per head per night

Cost includes use of a hot tub for the duration

Amount payable on arrival to Toby.

Rides: Each day there will be a ride on offer of about 100km.  Morning rides start at 7am to allow visitors to join in.  See the itinerary linked below for more details.

The rides may have a follow car for safety, spares and drinks etc.  Who’s driving the follow car? Dunno – will rotate between the good people of the club  Im thinking it would be nice if riders would chip in $5 per ride to pay for the car petrol and esky ice etc.  This will be decided down there.

South West Cycle Club will also be joining us for some rides so we will have some good number to share the wind at the front.

If you don’t want to ride everyday then dont stress – this is a chilled out, social fun camp – do as many kms as you want.

People are also encouraged to bring their MTB, BMX, tandoms and Unicycles – MTB rides will be organised on ad-hoc dirt craving basis.

Non-Rider Activities: Being based in Margs there is a host of activities for people to do.  Beach, Chocolate Factory, Wineries etc.  But there is some good kids info here. We are planning some spr group activities see the itinerary linked below.

Easter Egg Hunt: Yes.  The club will provide a couple of eggs per child for the hunt but you can bring more if you want.
