cyclo-sportif, trade show and track grand prix

this sunday sees a pretty big day for cycling in perth.  the cyclo-sportif swan valley event will kick off in the morning to be followed by the track grand prix.  while this is going on, there is a trade show being held at the velodrome.  we have been invited to put up a tent at the trade show to promote the club and try to get a few more members. 

we have 5 teams registered for the cyclo-sportif and there are some first timers and newbies involved.  as such we need to borrow some jerseys.  if you are racing and have a spare, bring it along on sunday morning.  if you are not racing, but want to share, bring it along on saturday to the start of the ride.  make sure you put your name in the inside in such a way that it is still there after it is washed.  we need all sizes.

with the trade show tent, we are looking at just promoting the club and encouraging some of these cyclo riders to give our group riding a go.  we will also have the powertest setup again so that people can see how good they are an possibly win some prizes.  it is really just about showing people what type of club we are.  however, i need some help.  if you have some spare time on sunday from 11am onwards (or earlier for setup) then let me know via the comments.  it won’t be very difficult, just talking to people mostly. 

we also need to borrow an old bike to use for the powertest.  it will need to have the seat adjusted each time so probably an alloy would be best and about 54cm.  let me know if you can help.
