during the week, there was apparently some graffiti sprayed on a road in vic park. unlike the normal “tag” or political statement about war, this graffiti was in the shape of a bicycle.  a group that the media have described as “guerrilla cycling activists” has sprayed bike markings on a recognised cycleway as they were tired of waiting for the council to do it themselves. see article here.   it reminded me of the marking in dalkeith where the bike symbol has actually been scrubbed out.  closer investigation shows that birdwood parade is considered a “good riding environment” and not a “bicycle lane or sealed shoulder”.  this is despite the fact that almost every group that rides around the river will use this stretch of road.  and despite the fact that the road is 9m wide as opposed to 6m wide for most suburban roads.  i.e. there is ample room for a bike lane.  personally, i think that symbols are a bit overrated and don’t mean that much to drivers, especially the bike symbol.  most drivers are taught to not cross unbroken lines or they risk having a crash.  anecdotally, i have seen/heard many cases where cars seem happier to zoom by close to bike rather than deviate into the other lane even if it is completely clear.  i think that we are programmed that way.  so to put a clearly marked shoulder on all roads (i.e. 2.5m from the centre line) would give people a clear indication of what is actually the lane.  most of my riding is in groups and i love the “protection” that the size of the group gives me in respect to actually being noticed, but when you are by yourself, sometimes the difference that the painted shoulder makes can be life changing.

thursday training ride – we implemented a new system of splitting the thursday group ride to keep the size manageable.    we think that we have come up with a good way of splitting the groups, but we need you to be honest about your own abilities.  have a look at the strava segment for the ride so you know where you sit.  there is nothing to stop you stepping up to challenge yourself, but this will at least provide a guide as to how much more challenging it will be.

ride routes – so yesterday we passed the winter solstice (i.e. the shortest day of the year).  perth celebrated this by getting hit with over 60mm of rain in 24hrs.  luckily this means that the weekend should now be pretty clear for riding.  it also means that effectively, the days start getting longer again.  still just waiting for winter.

friday training/recovery ride

we are getting close to the end of financial year and as such, everyone is having a EOFY sale.  now mostly this is a great thing for cyclists as there are bargains to be had.  the downside for us, however, is that councils also seem to have a end of financial year spending spree and try to get as much road works done as possible.  for those that have ridden around the river this week, burke drive has a couple of filled in trenches cut across the road and melville beach pde is ripped up.  if you did wed stockies, then you would seen parts of that climb ground down and levelled.  now the upshot is that we will eventually get nice new surfaces to ride on.  the downside is that in the dark, some of these things are not easy to spot.  please take care and make sure that you call any uneven road surfaces when riding in the group.  some of the roads now resemble a cheese grater and would not be the best thing to be sliding along if you come off.

swan valley cyclosportif – every year we put together a number of teams to participate in the bwa swan valley cyclosportif.  it is a great opportunity for people that have never ridden competitively before to experience it in a non-competitive format.  essentially it is a team time trial so you will only be riding with people you know.  spr usually has a number of teams entered and should be able to cater for a wide range of abilities.  see the previous post for further details.

tour of margs 2017 expressions of interest – as per previous years we are looking at putting multiple teams in for the tour of margs in november.  this is a 3 stage teams based race with a team time trial and 2 road races.  expressions of interest are now open and you can check out the previous post for more details,  we would like people to be committed if they say that they want to do it this year.

ride routes – you may have noticed that some of the ride route maps are not showing up.  recently garmin changed the address in how it embeds onto webpages.  i am slowly changing them all, but it takes time so am really only doing it as i change the ride routes.  if there is a linked address below the non-existent map, then this will also take you to the same place.  this monday is wa day.  public holiday protocol will be in place with the normal rides and splits.  dome westralia in the city will be open so you can still have your coffee/breakfast wrap/banana bread/apple pie to refuel after the ride.

friday training/recovery ride

i am not sure how many times i have talked about the need for riders to be spatially aware.  this morning on the thursday earlybird a rider on 2 occasions moved into the next lane when stopping at the lights.  on the second occasion a fully laden semi-trailer was pulling up to stop.  using the other lane to blow your nose, etc is fine, but this guy didn’t even look before pulling out.  i don’t want to be scraping people out of the tyre tread of an 18 wheeler, just because they did not know where they were. you need to be aware of everything around you.  as discussed last week, there are so many things that are outside of your control when you are on the bike, make sure you are in control of your own safety.

volunteer roster – there are a number of events over the course of the year that rely heavily on volunteers.  we usually put a call out close to each event, but generally get the same people each time.  this only lasts so long before people get a bit burnt out and stop helping.  we have close to 400 members in our club and should be able to share the load easily across the year.  the race committee is putting together a list of event and positions needed that you can volunteer for.  some are not till much later in the year so you have lots of time to prepare.  have a look at the previous post and let the club know that you can help out.

cyclocross – round 1 of the numbat cup starts next weekend 28th may.  there are grades for everyone and a kids race for every kid under 13.  you don’t even need a fancy cx bike as a mountain bike will do.  even better is that fact that if it rains, it is even more fun.  details and entry can be found here and you can race on a cyclign aust race licence or mtb licence.

friday training/recovery ride

the weather has finally turned and although we are still getting some gorgeous days, the mornings are pretty brisk.  don’t let this deter you from coming out.  as long as it is still dry, then cold weather is just another aspect of cycling.  for those that are relatively new to cycling and may have only started over summer, now is the time to get arm warmers and vests.  an undergarment won’t go astray either.  soon you will also need full gloves, knee warmers (transitioning onto full legs), bootie covers, full wind jackets, headband with ear warmers, buff for the neck and a winter cover over the helmet (to stop wind from getting in).  then when wearing all that, you head out on a ride and overheat on the first effort. 🙂

cyclocross – for those unfamiliar with just what it is, well it is fun, but hard technical fun.  high heart rate, smash yourself, get off your bike and run up stairs type fun.  however, you also need to make sure that your cleats are not full of sand and can actually disengage BEFORE you almost hit the barrier.  next race is on the 28th may.

dirty dozen – this sunday there will be a special ride planned.  not an official spr ride but rather a farewell of sorts for sarah and sarah as they are soon moving to victoria.  in true fitton style, the ride route is not one for the faint hearted. in less than 90kms you will climb over 2000m.  kind of like being in the alps, but with shorter climbs.  more info can be found on the facebook page or you can see/upload the route here.  it is not a simple course, so make sure that you have a look beforehand.  as specified on the facebook page, this is an unsupported ride with no scheduled regroups unless worked out by the participants.  the start is 7am at dome kelmscott, but a group will leave coode st at 6am to head down that way.  sunday may be a little wet, so it may be the very dirty dozen.

ride routes – i have made a small change to the ridgehill rd route.  instead of coming back via kalamunda rd, the course now hooks back up midland road and back along helena valley road.  kalamunda road has some tight sections and heavier traffic, two things that do not bode well for groups of riders.

friday training/recovery ride

so a lot to get through in this weeks post, so put the kettle on and pull up a pew.  apparently a few people were not happy with what i said in last weeks blog post about stopping for the crashed riders.  well i still stand by what i said and the reason why is that if you are in the same situation, wouldn’t you want someone to stop for you.  the intent was not to make people feel guilty about not stopping, but rather be more aware about just what is happening out there on the road.  we are not in a controlled environment, so there are lots of things that can go wrong during a ride.  if people feel that the group may have stopped if the fallen riders had spr jerseys on, then maybe that is the take-away from all this.  you are on a club ride and yes you don’t always want to look just like everyone else, but sometimes being in uniform helps identify which team you are on.

now there was another incident thursday last week where a number of riders hit the deck.  the majority walked away, but one rider had significant damage to his mouth.  multiple lost and broken teeth means a long period of reconstruction and a significant bill to go with it.  firstly, make sure you have insurance.  getting a membership covers you for somethings but not as much as private health insurance.  don’t take the “it will never happen to me” attitude as every rider, every vehicle and every road is a variable that you don’t have control over.  secondly, look after the other riders in the group.  there are reports that when the accident happened, the group had swelled significantly in numbers as it picked up extra riders around the river.  as is reiterated below in the group etiquette post, you must let other riders know what is happening around them during the ride.  now don’t call every single seagull that flies past, but letting riders know about traffic furniture and overtaking riders should be passed along the line.  often towards the end of these rides, people get tired and stop signalling.  it may make it a few places down the line, but then stops…until someone hits something.  in a group ride, you are responsible for your safety and the safety of those around you.  we rely on others to make the call when heading into a roundabout just so you don’t have to slow down, keep the calls going for all the other things.

ride routes – i really can’t believe the weather that we are having.  the tom lowry race is this weekend in collie and it always rains during that race.  not this year.  there are some nice sunny days coming up, but even with the threat of rain, it still hasn’t turned cold in the morning.  make the most of it.
