so thanks to dave our german vac student now has a bike to ride. it is a nice alu trek with 10spd 105. great condition and should be more than ample for him. thanks again.

michael has provided him a helmet, as being a fashion victim he has one in each colour, so many a spare.

thanks to our favourite online shop (with their low, low prices and prompt delivery) he will soon have knicks, vest and armwarmers. rio tinto provided the jersey.

so, what is the request for???
shoes. euro size 45. anyone out there upgraded recently and has an old pair lying around that (after a good wash) would be perfectly serviceable.

if so send me an e-mail at southperthrouleurs@hotmail.com

thanks for everything so far.

i currently have my two brothers working on the new website. it is on a paid hosted server so that it will be harder for me to be shut down by “the man”. i will be able to post links to anywhere without fear of “i’m sorry, the blog you are looking for is no longer available”.

so what i need is some good quality photo’s of perth cycling. races, groups, river rides, some perthy perth type stuff. these will be used for the pretty background stuff that the graphic designer brother will tart the site up with, while computer programmer brother makes all the bits work.

hopefully it will be up and running soon and we will migrate this blog, and the “whereareweridingtoday” blog over to it so we can keep our history.

send any photo’s to southperthrouleurs@hotmail.com

thanks.

we have a new guys who started at work this week. he is a vacation student from germany and does quite a bit of cycling when he is at uni. he is over here till november and would like to join us for our rides.

one little hitch, he didn’t bring his bike with him. he needs to borrow a bike to use during his stay and i said that i would see what our group has available. he is a tall bugger though, so needs a 58cm frame. if there are no available bikes, i was thinking that we could find enough spare parts within the group to build him a bike. if we can get a frame, then i have cranks and pedals, michael has already said that he has a spare helmet and bars. there is bound to be stacks out there.

anyway, if we can get a full bike even better. if anyone has anything available, let me know.
