absolute rubbish el preZ . The world cup is the number ONE sporting completion in the world in both viewing and partisanship. Cycling is well down the line, so get your facts straight mate….

In reply to - elPrez wrote a new post with the oscars, i mean, world cup coming to a close for the year, it is time to focus on a sport where suffering is applauded, not faked. although their spindly arms give the appearance of […]

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.
Kevin

Wow, it seems that the timing by Pete,s editorial were spot on.
My accident with the resultant broken hip certainly has woken me up to the very real dangers that we face on the road with virtually no protection. The helmet is a must because it can prevent that worst of all injuries, brain damage, but hearing from Robert, Alex,s Injury and one I…[Read more]

Yes when it comes to the CA insurance that is provided by being a member of SPR, it is worth noting its not that flash. When i speared into the tarmac 2 months ago on a Saturday ride, the only thing i got covered […]

Hi Jordan, yes its funny but Ive been cursing my bad luck, but as was pointed out by the Physio here at Murdoch it could have been much worse.

Thanks Andrew, I’m sending this all to Garmin and will speak to them on Monday. I cant believe that They reckon that I’m the only one that has had this problem…In all the world…Doesn’t make ant sense at all to me.
Cheers for the feedback. I was beginning to think they were right and I was mad.

That is Good Jason. (Well its not, but its ammunition for me with Garmin, who reckon they have never heard of this problem…). I will be on my 4th when they send my new one, and I am on a mission to keep sending them back until they fix the software issue. As I keep telling them, at $650 a pop, it should work as advertised.
Cheers, and anyone…[Read more]

Does anyone who has a Garmin 800 have trouble in course mode. That is if you deviate off a course and then get back onto it.
I am on my 3rd replacement and all 3 do the same. ie if you deviate from a set course (and it obviously then gives warnings of being of course), and then get back onto the course, it then gives silly directions to turn left…[Read more]

yes the hills ride on Saturday should encourage those that realise its a good workout. Easy to just keep on the flats, but good to push yourself IMO. I struggled last week with the young guns, But still enjoyed it […]

A question about groups.
I have done a few main 1 rides and no problems, but today the fast group was another league. what I want to know is during the week is there a main 1 or only fast. I wasnt the only one to be spat out, but the second group is a little slow.?
