For those not battling it out in the hills for KoM points this Sunday, the Santos Great Bike Ride is on, if you’d prefer a “fun ride around the Swan” (aren’t they all?).. If you’re quick, you’ve probably still got time to register for it.

And yes, I know some of you scoff at the concept of paying money to ride a route most of us do at least once a week anyway… but hey, not all of us have our racing license yet, and the challenge of a timed (‘participation’) event is always nice. Also, some of us are lucky enough to have the entry fee paid for by their employers – win!

If you’re already signed up, leave a note in the comments and let us know which event you’re doing (106km – 2 laps; 52km – 1 lap; 10km – hey kiddies!).. that way we’ll know if there’s likely to be an SPR posse that you can jump in with, as you enjoy your “fun ride around the Swan”.. I, for one, will be doing the 106km event, and would be most appreciative of a friendly wheel to suck! 😉
