Hi Julian I am a member as are a few friends of mine but don’t have SPR kit for various reasons. Does this discount those that are but don’t have kit for this particular ride. Having been on many SPR rides where less than 50% of riders have the kit it seems odd that this ride would require club colours for the ride.
Cheers.

So, poor form to smash it up climbs and wait for a regroup? I’ll be there either way, just don’t want to make an ass of myself.

Any M2 takers on this ride? Not sure if i keep up with climbs but don’t wanna hold everyone back.

I have a couple of 3rd gen shirts in medium and large if anyone needs to borrow one also.

I’m also keen to come along but I’m not sure if I can hold the M1 pace for the whole ride. Happy to join someone willing to form a second group if we are holding up the group!

Yep, there will definitely be a Main 2 paced ride which will leave at the same time. I think the current plan is to leave with the group and decide to split at the first regroup point. Discussion is on the SPR chicks facebook page, I’ll make sure they update plans on the blog as well.

I probably should have commented here instead of on the Ride post, sorry!

Anyway, as a lawyer that deals with these sorts of things I’m happy to donate some of my time to Davina and Michael for an informal chat if they’re looking for help.

I am happy to share what I have learned from my own car/cycling accident on 22/03/2014 (Robson/Hennessy Canning Hwy) to those who have recently had accidents about the ICWA process, Solicitor / Barrister selection, WA Police process/interaction, CA Insurance bike and income claims, Magistrates Court Summons, Physios and Orthopaedic surgeons. I stress that I am not a lawyer/solicitor, but believe I can provide some useful insights into the pitfalls/process that may be helpful to those who have had a serious accident involving an ICWA claim. Please contact me on 0401 279 839 if you want to talk over a coffee. I started my own rehab riding/comeback as of 1/01/15 under the supervision of my orthopedic surgeon/physio. During my own rehab over the past 9 months, the club has been enormously supportive for which I am eternally grateful. Get well soon…..

There was a scary incident yesterday on the hills ride in Bickley Valley. After splitting on Welshpool Rd, the long and short groups crossed paths again at the intersection of Lawnbrook and Glenisla in Bickley Valley.
Three of us were coming down Lawnbrook Rd at a fair speed, when a group of about 5 short riders arrived at the intersection from Glenisla, stopped, looked, and then headed out straight in front of us. Lots of braking and swerving meant a near miss, instead of a pile-up.
I know that motorists don’t always pay attention to bicycles, but we expect cyclists to be extra vigilant; particularly towards our own club members. Lets all try harder this year.
This morning I renewed my SPR membership, so at least I’m now insured

Hi Julian,
Thanks for the write-up, ….enjoyed it!
(more than your TTT)

It’s like I was there!

And don’t forget about the other visual highlight that Ben got to experience. Though, I’ll let him mention that one.

i added some pictures to brighten up your post.

Thank for sharing the team’s story Dr J. Sounds like a fantastic event to do – well done!

An excellent mix of food, cycling and excuses! Well done team.

Oh yes, I almost forgot about my celebrity spotting experience!

And as for the nervous moment, it must’ve been the three days of energy gels messing with the system. Long story short, it turned out it was just chamois cream!
