winter is finally here. no thunderstorms and lightning this weekend but it will be cold. damn cold. they are predicting 4 degrees on both saturday and sunday mornings. don’t let that deter you though. that is why they invented armwarmers, legwarmers, thermal gloves and jackets.
for those that do not have any spr kit, we will be doing an order very soon. i am just trying to work out some more items with cannibal so you can also get knee warmers and a jacket. the usual kit will still be available and those that skimped on things like armwarmers and vest last time (because it was summer) will have the opportunity to purchase again. for those new to spr this is a good opportunity to be part of the group. show off your club colours like any good biker gang.
anyway, saturday will have you nice and warm as you tackle the rolling hills along south street. the group will split with the main taking bannister while the fast hits nicholson. pretty standard ride for the old hands, so there should be plenty of leaders to follow. i will be taking the novice group but we may have to find more hills to make sure we warm up 🙂
sunday. i was told that we don’t do rides 1 – 7 much anymore. here is number 6. nice and tight circuit around kalamunda and the observatory. lots of opportunities for shortcuts and an early coffee if you need.
layer up and i will see you on the road.
Are newcomers welcome to the rides or is this a closed group?
scott, newcomers are always welcome. we have three groups on the saturday morning so we should be able to fit you in somewhere depending on your skill. sunday is a bit more advanced but it all depends on your abilities. have a quick look at the ride etiquette section and then we will see you bright and early on the weekend.

Yay – no need to explain why I need an afternoon sleep on Sunday!
Changing tires for Damsels in Lycra is exhausting work Melvyn 😉
