SPR Bike Buddy Program needs Main 2 & 3 Mentees – 7 spots left! Register today!

Of course you are looking to improve your cycling skills, we all are! Perhaps you don’t know where to start or what to ask? Chances are your bike buddy will know exactly how to help you after just one group ride and genuinely want to help you.

This program caters to members wishing to improve in any fashion on the bike; technique, positioning or etiquette on group rides, it could open doors to racing or could even just help you understand why the hell do the things we do! Make the most of it!

The SPR Buddy Program launches this Saturday. The meeting point is at the top of the boat ramp (far right of the car park) before the usual Saturday group ride between 6:30-7am. Introductions will take place at this time, but there is no obligation to ride with your new buddy on Saturday.

I will put buddies in touch via email after the ‘buddy meet’ so you can arrange future rides.

The obligations for the mentors are to help their buddy on at least 3 rides over 3 months (ending 30 Sept). The mentees appreciate their buddy’s time with a coffee after the group ride. Easy as!

In true SPR fashion, we have had a fantastic response from mentors offering their time and knowledge. Thank you to all of you who have committed to and supported this initiative. So many fast/Main1 riders wanting to help out despite their training schedules!

Mentees please email me; leigh.outschoorn@y7mail.com to secure your bike buddy mentor.

Add your name, current riding group and any other information you feel relevant.

  1. Leigh, Thanks for this great MENTORING initiative. It will be an absolutely invaluable catalyst to assist new and novice riders as they aspire to become more experienced. I would like to put my hand up to become a mentor, BUT my shoulder is too stiff and my back is still too sore to do so at present. A really weak excuse, I know! I’m out out of my Jewett brace in 2 weeks and working with spinal physio from next Tuesday over 2-3 months so hoping to get on a bike sooner rather than later before I forget which direction the wheels go around. Thanks again for your leadership.
