Have you ever wondered about giving Racing a try? Have you ever had a question about anything racing?

Why race? How do I race? What grade am I in? What do I eat? When do I eat? What kit do I take? How do I warm […]

If you haven’t been to the Pemberton Classic for previous years, I would suggest this is the year to try. The Pemberton is a two-parter: Saturday afternoon Crit on a 1.5km course; and a graded Road Race through […]

A new venue was on show for Renae’s Race this year, and the Midvale Speed Dome course is sensational, having been used for the Mid-Week Madness series this year. Renae’s Race is run in memory of the late Renae […]

Personal and philosophical thoughts on the date of Australia Day aside (it’s not an opinion piece after all), the Aus Day Crits at Tech Park are a staple of Perth bike racing. This year’s event was a cracker. T […]

Not to push the point, we have enjoyed another wonderful year at the Women’s and Men’s Tour Down Under in #Radelaide. The women’s racing was exceptional, with some brutal climbs and hard fought sprint finis […]

The Annual SPR Christmas Ride and DOME Breakfast was hosted again this year, on Saturday 23rd December. For those that attended, thanks for helping us all celebrate another awesome year in green. Along with the […]

ToMR Stage 4 – Claire Tyrrell

As my team rolled into the start grid for stage four of the Tour of Margaret River, it was a miracle we were all there. Our cracking third stage was not without its casualties – […]

Pre-Race Planning

For the Mens 3 team (Dave Menarry, Dan Harvey, Ray Martin, Mark Tancell, Liam Donley, Rosemary Reid and Craig Duarte), Stage 3 really began at the dinner table t […]

ToMR Stage 3 – Elar Kalda

To fully understand ToMR Stage 3, it’s tactics and how it was raced we need to start from the very beginning. For men’s 1 team the first team time trial was executed perfectly and s […]

ToMR Stage 2 – Jon Hanson

I love a good road race and Stage 2 of TOMR was the best stage of the event to suit my abilities. 50 ks from Nannup to Greenbushes. I was looking forward to it. 9am start. Drive from D […]

ToMR Stage 1 – Amanda Nabi

Our journey to stage 1 started 6 weeks prior to the ToMR with weekly practice sessions.   A fortnight out from the tour we were on top of our game and confident we were going to ach […]

ToMR Stage 1 – Ashley Brown

So I’m back from the 2017 Satalyst Tour of Margaret River, my first ever stage race event and I’m feeling a strange mix of feelings. There’s more than a healthy dose of fatigue, h […]

Wow. What a weekend. The Tour of Margaret River has come and gone for another year and for SPR ToMR Central, it’s time for race@SPR to switch off and recharge for a bit. As was reported in the previous post, this […]

Last Friday night a group of SPR members took up the offer to get a tutorial on all things Track, starting with now NOT to fall over on a fixed gear bike.

The ever-wonderful Cathi Dixon hooked us up with […]

Done and dusted.

Both the event and I. Well dusted, in fact. After riding the Sunday Heroic for most  of the 100 miler, on a single speed. However, at the conclusion to what was a pretty successful day, I […]

Last weekend with a sophomore appearance, SPR again staged the revival of “The Beverley” –  a 114km handicapped Road Race on an out and back course starting and finishing in Beverley township. First, a bit of h […]
