With less than four weeks to go to the 2008 Melbourne Peloton Ball, remember to organise you and your friends and book a table!  It should be a great celebration of cycling and all things Belgian, along with great food, entertainment, a swag of prizes to be won, and it'll hosted by our very own Monty!

A theme of black, yellow and red will give the evening a truly Belgian flavour, so come dressed accordingly.  Tickets are $100 per head, or $90 per head for SKCC members, which includes a 3 course dinner, drinks and entertainment.

In the tradition of the Peloton Ball, it promises to be a fantastic night.  Plus we'll be giving away a place on the 2009 SKCC-Adventure Travel tour to Belgium* (land content only, trip valued at $3,995; SKCC members only).

We're taking registrations, so if you want to secure tickets, please fill out and return the attached registration form.

We'd also like to send big thank you to the Belgian Beer Cafe whose generous support of SKCC enables the running of the Peloton Ball each year!

As we announced in May, SKCC and Adventure Travel are launching the 2009 Spring Classics Tour!  We are delighted to announce this new development in the SKCC annual calendar: our very own tour to Belgium organised by our sponsors Adventure Travel.

David Hull, Managing Director of Adventure Travel, has put together a fascinating 11 day tour to Belgium for April 2009 which takes in the Tour of Flanders, Gent/Wevelgem and the Paris-Roubaix.  There's even a ride to the Eddy Merckx factory. The tour is for SKCC members, but partners, family and non-riders are more than welcome!  We have designed the tour to be rider-friendly so accommodation is in two centrally located hotels. The itinerary has many opportunities for riding and to experience the magic of Belgium's culture and cobblestones for yourself.

Full details and can be found here in the Spring Classics flier and here on the Registration Form. For further information you can contact David direct at Adventure Travel Ph 03 9696 8400 E: david@adventure-travel.com.au

Fancy a trip to the Back Roads and Beaches of Cuba? 

Our friends at Adventure Travel have this and many unique tours just like it. Western Cuba is a perfect destination for a shorter tour to this beautiful island. We combine the colonial atmosphere of Havana and Piñar del Rio with an overnight in the Cordillera de Guaniguanico, allowing time to visit both the Atlantic & Caribbean coast along with exploration of the captivating scenery around Viñales.
