winter is coming.  not only is the official start to winter upon us on saturday, after an extended period of warm weather, we are in for a frigid start to the weekend.  friday morning has a predicted 2 deg with saturday not much more than that.  i hope that you ordered up big at the previous kit order, as full finger gloves and jackets and leg warmers will be the order of the day.  just think of it like the second last stage of the giro.  hope your gears don’t freeze.

racing – good luck to those making the trip to kalgoorlie this weekend for the goldfields race/ride.  there is also the first in the cyclo-cross series starting this weekend behind the velodrome.  more info can be found here.

boot camp – tuesday morning for those that are after something a bit different. more info here.

focus group kids ride – first saturday of the month, so we have your kids ride on at 9:30am.  bring the kids for a leisurely ride along the bike path.  last month we had 3 families and about 7 kids. get involved.

ride routes – i have managed to get the majority of the saturday and sunday ride routes mapped to the garmin site as well as a couple of the weekday/special ones.  this should make transfer to a garmin unit easier.  the public holiday means another 2 rides to add to your weekend.  monday earlybird is usually under subscribed (just rob on his own this week) but is a really good ride.  check it out since you have the time.
