it is encouraging to see how competitive entry into the tour of margaret river has become.  not just in general, but also within our club.  it is a sign of a healthy club that we now have more people racing than ever before.  our club is not just about racing though and the majority of our members are on recreational licences.  this weekend we are fielding 9 cyclo-sportif teams and the majority of those riders are not just from the fast group.  there are more events out there now that try to cater for a wider cross-section of riders which is great for our club as we have a wide cross-section of riders.  if you find an event that you think we should be involved in, don’t hesitate to contact one of the committee members to see if we should promote it the rest of the club.

ride leaders – support the club and help us become ambassadors for the sport in the public eye. put your name down as ride leader to ensure that the group ride is safe and organised. sign up here.

ride leaders sponsorship – if you have a business that you want to promote to our members, check out the previous post to both promote your business and help out the club.

spr ride buddy program – another initiative to help develop our fledgling riders.  all it takes is 1 ride a month in the lower groups and you can make a big difference.  see the previous post and contact leigh for more info.  mentors and mentees will be meeting up before the ride this saturday.

swan valley cyclo-sportif – sunday 29th june.  we have nine teams for this sunday.  remember to get there early to get your spr pastry to fuel up for the ride.  a group photo will also be taken at the velodrome.

tour of margaret river – expressions of interest are now open for this race.  please see the previous post and let the all powerful race committee know if you want to be involved.
