Lighthouse to Lighthouse (road bike) 12 Oct 2014

5 Comments

Hi Guys,

We have 11 people so far who are doing the  Lighthouse to Lighthouse (road bike) Sunday 12 Oct 2014. Most likely this will divide into a faster and “less fast” group – Shaw wants to make it in 4 hours..I just want to make it… 

  • Down Friday:
  • EagleHawk Bay: Ali K (not riding), Nicola P, Tania B and Stephanie L.   private accommodation
  • Busselton: Carol & John P; John K and Greg E – Geographe Bayview Resort – 2 bed villa – good price from booking.com
  • Down Saturday: Shaw/family and Nathan –  Geographe Bayview Resort
  • Ross R and Jo (not riding)
  • Graham and Jennie (not riding) – Geographe Bayview Resort

Below is an overview of this event:

  • Travel down to Busselton Friday or Saturday (2hr 40 mins) and stay overnight*
  • Drive to Bunkers Bay Beach Car Park (40 mins)
  • Cycle 2.6km from Bunkers Bay Beach Car Park to Naturaliste Lighthouse
  • Sign in ~6.30am for 7am start
  • Note: supporters travelling by car along the route should leave before cyclists
  • Cycle 120km
  • Bus from Leeuwin Lighthouse leaves at 1:00pm – bikes transferred in separate vehicle – $30 one way and casino can book when register
  • Drive back to Perth ~ leaving 3pm arrive 6.15pm (3hr 15 min)

Accommodation is filling up fast as the event is at the end of the school holidays. Registration for the ride is now open $75 pp – if you need to book the return bus back to the start, you can do this when you register. Just select the option from “merchandise” at the end of your registration.  This is not officially sponsored by SPR and each person would be responsible for making their own arrangements.

spr watertower challenge 2013

Watertower Challenge 2013 Bannerremember all the fun you had last year on the watertower challenge???  well we are running it again and this time we are welcoming people outside the club.  there is already a webpage setup with registration, a facebook event and even a strava “club”.

there will be only a few volunteers needed on the day, so what we need from the members (besides entering the event) is to promote this to all their cycling buddies outside of the club. it will be held on the 17th nov which is one week before the great perth bike ride.  this will be a good warmup event for those doing that event as you can go your own pace.  it also sits somewhere between the great perth bike ride and the 3-5 dams ride as far as difficulty.  A further benefit is that it doesn’t leave the perth city limits, so you are really never very far from home.

Men’s Only Arvo + Gender Neutral/Non-Specific Dinner & Drinks….(aka Bye Bye Paul O)

13 Comments

Following on from Brendan’s original post regarding an exclusive SPR Men’s Night, we can now confirm that we’re pulling together an “alternative” to include the ladies because that’s just the way we are; an inclusive club!….and our ‘men’s night’ just happens to have been hijacked by Paul O heading off to KL at short notice. We figured we shouldn’t be gender biased…and he does/we do looouve the ladies….!

Based on all the comments received from Brendan’s post, and in keeping with our cycling heritage, we’re going to have two “stages”; both on the same day.

Stage One (SPR “Men’s Only” Arvo)
