SPR Buddy Program – October roll out

GMC-MuppetsOnBikes

It’s for every club member!

Thank you to everybody who participated in the SPR Bike Buddy Program. It was a great success! The feedback to date was fantastic. It was heart warming to hear of the support that mentors gave their buddies and how well received and appreciated it was.

We have many talented members within SPR. We also have many aspiring cyclists keen to explore their talent. The Buddy Program aims to bring the two groups together and encourage much more than just sharing a ride or cycling tips. It’s in our culture to look out for each other, so why not also share our vast experience amongst our club members while building friendships across the riding groups?

You don’t have to be an expert, you just need a little nbso online casino reviews experience to help someone. Our main groups are rich in variety just waiting to be tapped into. Each main group rider has the capacity to assist members in the slower groups progressing though.

This program rotates every 3 months. The next buddy roll out after this one will be in January 2015.

Expectations of a Buddy Mentor

The expectation of the bike buddy ‘mentor’ is to take an SPR Saturday or Sunday group ride with your buddy at least 3 times in a 3 month period. Offer advice and guidance on areas of mutual interest (technique, training or group craft), introductions to other group members, is also very inclusive.

Expectations of a Buddy Mentee

The expectation of the bike buddy ‘Mentee’ is to respect and try what your Mentor suggests and reward their time with a coffee at the Dome after a group ride. Don’t be afraid to ask those silly questions!

Coordination

We will facilitate a ‘buddy meet’ prior to the group ride at 6:45am, Saturday 27th September at the top of the boat ramp in Coode Street Car Park.
