We would love to have you along to one of our rides Gordon. Thanks for your comments and observations. We do try to our best to keep our riders latched onto the group and safe as well as doing the right thing out on the road.
Thanks Steph for responding to Gordon -

A wonderful write up Jack! Those emotions you felt during those rides will never fade, luckily the pain does. I hope to be back there next year to make friends with Mr. Gavia and enjoy another ‘best hot chocolate in the world’ at the top
I was really happy to see that you made it back safely and fulfilled. Good on you! -

Good question Steph. We will cater to all abilities. We split the groups last time. I have some things up my sleeve for those more advanced riders. Our gorgeous team of volunteers will be helping beginner ladies with learning group craft and other skills to build confidence on the bike.
So, yes and yes! Both ladies are welcome and will hopefully…[Read more] -

Saturday, 4th October – 7am – Coode St Jetty Car Park, South Perth
Thank you to all the ladies who braved the freezing cold and participated in the June ladies session. Despite all the teeth-chattering , the first session was a success!
A few of the ladies from the June session have gone onward and upward. Progressing from Novice to transition group and now enjoying their group rides in the main groups with confidence. They even rode in the Swan Valley Cyclo Sportif!
Here is some feedback from one of the participants…
I got sent a link for the SPR ladies skills day, I was keen and going has turned out to be the best decision I have made in 2014 to date. I learnt heaps, corrected lots of silly habits/mistakes I was making, most of which I wasn’t even aware of. An educational morning, with safety and enjoyment in mind, light hearted, friendly, that gave me enough of a taste for more which has resulted in SPR being a regular part of my life… Every Saturday in fact! Cycling has become the sport I have been looking for all my life and I have some great new friends too.
These sessions are friendly and full of helpful info to usher you into group riding with South Perth Rouleurs.
The skills covered in the session include; Braking (including unclipping quickly), Cornering, Roll throughs, Scanning, Communication (vocal and visual) & Safety information.
After the session we will all ride as a group to the Dome at Westralia Plaza for coffee at around 8:30am.
Your volunteers for the morning are; Carol Dowse, Michelle Bonner, Rosslind Ellis, Anke Bergmann and Leigh Outschoorn.
Bring a water bottle, helmet, any bike (road bikes are preferable).
Please no pedals with straps.
Any questions feel free to email me; leigh.outschoorn@y7mail.com

What level of cycling ability is required? I have a friend who’s just starting out on her first road bike but doesn’t have much confidence and definitely doesn’t have clip-in shoes. Would this be suitable for her?
And then I have another friend who rides regularly with clip-ins (she’s a tri girl) but would probably appreciate some skills help – still suitable?

Thanks Mathew and Dave, Thanks so much for your feedback. He was much older chap Mathew so I wouldn’t like to test his off roads skills. He never took a turn either so that made me a bit cross. I think I will just purse my lips at him next time and see if that helps
Us ladies were calling hazards, yelling out ‘slowing’ and all the things we do…[Read more] - Load More
