saturday morning at south perth

The end of and era.Like any good TV show, at some stage it is easier to do a reminiscing “clip” show than write any new content. So after 13 years of writing a blog, this is my […]

VOTE HERE

At last years AGM we introduced electronic voting as a way of negotiating the Covid restrictions around the size of gatherings. This year we wish to continue that as we feel that it gives better […]

I’ve been thinking quite a bit about how i write the blog post this week as there are a few things that need to be discussed. Primarily it is the AGM that we are holding next week in which we not only vote in […]

This is a photo of the 2013 committee being as dysfunctional as possible. […]

As if life for a cyclist isn’t hard enough. We are abused by drivers for being on the road and abused by pedestrians for being on the path. Now even the paths don’t seem that safe for cyclists. A number of […]

Calm sunrises with a bit more than a hint of humidity make for fast mornings on the bike. For the weekday earlybird rides, lights are now mandatory and please remember to set them to solid (non-flash) to […]

All good things come to an end. Even though a few weeks ago I wrote about the Beverley weekend no longer running, I thought it was still important to recognise what made it a successful event. Besides Toby […]

It was certainly a little cooler on the ride this morning and definitely darker for the 5:30am start. As we head towards the cooler months make sure that you have the right kit to tackle the earlybird rides. […]

As per the premier’s announcement last night, the restrictions on Perth will be eased at 6pm tonight (Friday). This means that we are no longer limited to the 1 hour exercise, with housemates only, within a […]

Wow, the end of January already. As we move into the end of summer, there is still lots of racing and riding to go. Both Peel and RCCC have crits on around Rockingham and Baywater as well as the West Coast […]

So the days have been hot and windy and it certainly feels like summer. The reprieve from the easterly’s that dominated the past 3 or more weeks is welcomed, but it feels like we still have lots of summer to […]

The Rover Road Race of 1897 was the brainchild of Percy Armstrong, noted rider and entrepreneurial owner of the Rover Cycling Agency. The gruelling event of 116 miles over rough turn of the century roads […]

With the formation of AusCycling there is now an additional level of membership available for riders to take out. Similar to our Extraordinary membership, the Club Add-On allows people to support another club […]

So long. Farewell. Aufwiedersehn. GoodnightI hate to go and leave this pretty sight.Not that 2020 has been such a pretty sight, however. But in closing off this year, I think that we should reflect on just […]

As we come to the end of a very interesting year, I thought that a final reflection on some of the positives was in order. New kit design, new ride leaders jerseys, new supplier, new look for the club – This […]

doug has presents on hand

It’s beginning to sound a lot like Christmas. While the same jingles and jangles are being played across shopping centres around the world, just don’t listen too closely to the tone […]

Mt Everest. The highest point in the world standing at 8848m above sea level. At altitudes of higher than 8000m climbers enter the “death zone” where the atmospheric pressure is about 1/3 of that at sea level […]

Cape Heroic with Meegan Fyfield.

“Well home now after what was my longest ride to date. I did the Le Cape Heroic 300km in the best part of WA, Margaret River. We started at Margaret River up to […]

Released into the wild last weekend was the new ride leaders kit. A slight variation on the current kit but different enough to stand out in a crowd of green. So, you may ask “why are these people so special […]

Although racing is not everyone’s cup of tea, there is an important aspect of it from the clubs perspective. That is exposure. Getting the new colours out on the road, being in amongst groups of other riders […]
