mike commented on the post, Road racing this Sunday 11 years ago
There is a rough profile at the bottom of the map, which shows that it is a rolling course more like the UWCT Gran Fondo (after the Albany Hway climb) as opposed to the Perry Lakes road race. The main climb on the […]

Trained hard for the UCI/UWCT races or the 3/5 Dams (so very fit)?
Inspired by the Tour of Flanders (or any other Belgian race)?
Want to try a graded road race?If you answered ‘yes’ or ‘maybe’ to any of the […]

Tough gig, Luke, so really well done on putting up the performances that you did. The reports are greatly appreciated for their insights into this level of racing (and the preparation required). Cheers.

Well done, Laurensia.
Very difficult to get everything to go even close to ‘right’ the first time you tackle an event like this. You’ve now got lots of motivation to go back and show those climbs who’s boss […] -

UCI laps this Saturday:
Slight change to proceedings: 1 lap as a group: 7 laps ‘race simulation’/smaller groups/at own pace.
2 weeks to go to the UCI/NSR races, so this will be the last hard Perry Lakes […]

This may be a long shot, but would anyone like to be my partner for a hit out in the Kalamunda Cyclosportif next Sunday? BWA are having an A+ event of 108km for pairs, starting at the bottom of the zig-zag. Details (like maps and profiles) are available on their website at bwa.org.au. Registrations close on Tuesday.
I’m looking to have a hard-ish…[Read more]

Just about to post the same thing. I’ll be going out at 6:00am and happy to go either long or short hills route – or explore the UCI/UWCT Gran Fondo course.

Good to hear from you, Chris. Andrew’s example is a good one of the difficulties we face – the ‘will of the bunch’ is often hard to control as it’s our natural instinct to want to keep up with a fast-moving group (to enjoy the cut and thrust of group riding). If some get through a light, roundabout or T junction it’s a tough choice to do the right…[Read more]

Simply a request to make good decisions within our group rides.
Not long after we stopped perfectly at the Malcolm St. orange light (well instigated by Matty Upton), a few riders used motor vehicle traffic in the middle lane of the Thomas St descent to get a break on the bunch. It wasn’t a pretty sight as riders were seen drafting closely behind…[Read more]

I’m pretty sure you can rest easy on that score. The curve resembles a vertically challenged or very young cobra.

Here are some deltas: my FTP has risen to $#!! watts, and my power profile (curve) now resembles an angry cobra.

Quite a few SPR folk are adorning their bikes with power meters attached to wheels, cranks and/or pedals (like my Garmin Vectors), or are thinking about making the leap into power training, so I thought I would […] -

Early bird entry completed for road race and gran fondo (15 mins of life one won’t get back). Closes tomorrow.

The gran fondo on the Sunday is a point-to-point course – that should straighten you out/help you unwind.

This Saturday (Feb 1st) is only 8 weeks away from the UWCT road race and gran fondo (March 29th and 30th, 2014), which will undoubtably be two of the best races for local riders – especially those in Masters age […] -

And you’re most welcome, Alistair (as are others who aren’t racing at the end of March).
An 8km circuit, although repetitive (read ‘boring’), has the advantage of people being able to turn it into whatever sort of training session they need (very hard, hard or solid/medium). The left hand turns and no traffic lights usually make for a less…[Read more] -

Some early notice that the SPR UWCT road race training for the Perry Lakes course will start on Saturday 1st February. Similar to last year, we’ll assemble under the Narrows at 6:00am (to avoid the traffic buildup on West Coast highway) and aim to be back at Toby’s Dome by around 8:30.
Warmup will take us on the Malcolm St avoidance route via…[Read more] -

SCP,
If you read back through your previous posts dispassionately – and consider them from a local WA perspective – they do sound pretty ‘superior’ in terms of ‘this is the way we do it back home in Melbourne […] - Load More
