Schedule
Weekly Schedule
Our routine weekly schedule is shown in the table below. Other ad-hoc rides occur sometimes (eg on Public Holidays) and are socialised in the group and published on the calendar. Times change slightly for Summer and Winter, so check this site before riding, join the facebook group, join the Strava Club, or get on our mailing list.
Departure point from these rides will be from the Quay Street/Denham Street intersection.
The Saturday rides are designed to suit a range of needs, with a range of speed options. there is also a shorter, slower option every Saturday leaving slightly later.
Every Saturday we choose a different ride based on a rolling 2-monthly roster. Generally we start with our shortest ride on the first weekend of each month and build up to the longest ride at the end of the month.
Rides are usually between 40 km and 60 km, but sometimes longer depending on whether people are preparing for an event, or just want a challenge. All of our rides are mapped on-line on the routes page.
Events
From time to time some of us challenge ourselves by participating in local, state or national cycling community events.
