what is it with this weather??? the sun is finally up by 6am and still i can’t ride in the sunshine because it is raining. i know that during my previous rants i have said that you should just ride in the rain anyway. however, after a while, it just wears you down. also, i have started racing again, and the last thing i want to do is get sick. so, i will call this week a “taper week” and clock up a grand total of 42kms. meanwhile, those that keep track of other spr riders via strava will see some big kms and climbs over in europe. anyone that does the long sunday hills ride will note that brian did 1,200km last week alone and that included 32,000m of climbing.
ride leaders – full complement of ride leaders this week. put your name down here for the next few weeks.
pinjarra classic – over 20 club members are heading down to pinjarra on sunday for the classic. we have riders in grades a-d with some first time racers as well. look for the tent on the grass area carpark.
duathlon – you obviously ride, but do you also run??? i have seen a number of you on strava getting out on the hoof occasionally. now you can combine the two at the armadale duathlon. check out the previous post and let us know if you are interested.
upcoming events – keep an eye on the blog for info on some upcoming events. the 2013 watertower challenge will be back in november and we are expanding it to the general public. let your bike riding friends know. the spr feedback survey should be out next week. let the club know what you are happy/unhappy with.

Who is that superior looking athlete, what a catch she must be : ) See y’all on Sunday morning. Strangely enough, I am looking forward to it. There is seriously something wrong with me, I really should have myself checked!
