‘Ideally we want to have a network of midweek training sessions available in suburbs such as Whitfords, Joondalup/Wanneroo and Jindalee.’
Dr Howard said the squad had started training for the summer criterium race season, which will include its event the Yanchep National Park Challenge in early 2014, and state titles in March.
The club will offer free use of junior road bikes to members so they can have a go before committing to the sport and buying their own bike.
Club training rides, catering for adults and children, are pedalled from Jindalee each Sunday morning.
