ride routes 20th – 26th july

the uci gran fondo word series continues to roll on around the globe. with so many races now available to qualify in, you could spend a year chasing the races and experience riding in 18 different countries. tim was conveniently over in utah for work this past week and displayed his spr aussie colours at the logan race.  as with most things in america the qualifying medal was supersized.

ride leader sponsor –there is no ride leader sponsor for july.  if you want to promote your business to our 400 members and 2500 facebook followers, get in contact with the club.

spr tour of margs – With EOI’s officially closed, we still may only be able to field 3 teams down from the 6-7 teams just last year.  Most importantly, WE NEED MORE WOMEN!!!! While
the ToMR Crew are coming to town for an Info Session in August (as advertised on FB) but we’d really like your EOI now! Check out the previous post for more info. Ask on the SPR Chicks FB page, or email Race@SPR if you’ve got any queries in the meantime, though.  For any late EOI’s get on it and email race@southperthrouleurs.com.au

entertainment book – once again we are selling the entertainment book as a fundraiser for the club.  available as a digital version, you can carry it anywhere on your phone to make sure that you never miss out on those discounts.  if you do want a physical book, these are still available but you must select a postage option.  click here to order your new book.  there are usually different weekly offers on when you buy your entertainment book.

memberships new changes – if you are a member of another club and want to change to spr then it is simply a matter of calling up  cycling australia memberships and giving them your membership number.  i have requested that an additional fee is not required and most people don’t care what club is written on their card as long as they are in the right club in the system. it should be a zero fee transaction and if they ask for anything, tell them to contact the club.

saturday start locations – we have revamped the group start locations on saturday morning.  please have a look at the map so you know where your group will congregate.  this makes it easier for ride leaders to give you a briefing before the ride starts.  see the previous post for more details.

spr juniors – CANCELLED.  a bit of a discussion with the other parents and we have decided to put the juniors ride on hold over winter.  the last few weeks have been too wet and the prediction is for more rain on saturday.  even if it is not wet, then 2 deg in kings park is not pleasant and we want to make sure that the kids are actually having fun.  we will reassess mid august as to when to start up again.

from the ride coordinator –the current forecast says that it should stop raining before the saturday morning ride.  i don’t know which one i am wishing for most, the no rain or the $110m powerball tonight…..that is a lie.  $110m will get a really good zwift setup.
