Weekly Club Rides
All rides are suited to road bikes only, given the speed of the rides. Each group has a selected a ride leader who will provide guidance and support during the ride to assist with technique, as required and may provide instructions for group safety. Each rider is responsible for their own safety and should feel empowered to speak up when they see what they consider a safety issue.
SATURDAY CLUB RIDES
Club rides open to anyone young and old catering for all abilities on road bikes.
We run 3 groups to allow for different speeds and distances which are hosted by our ride leaders on the day. Distances range from 50k-100k and will see us return for coffee at GLORIA JEANS CAFE around 8-15 all going well.

By sticking to this all rides in winter return for coffee at roughly the same time 8:30am give or take.

Sunday Social Ride

Departs: 7:00am
Distance: Varying, 40-50km
The Sunday ride route varies every weekend, however usually takes in a good portion of the Moreton Bay foreshore and is determined by the ride leader the week before. The speed will be determined by the ride leader on the day and is usually as fast as the slowest rider, keeping in mind it is intended for road style bikes (flat bar / hybrid included) to enable a reasonable pace.
Riders should have basic bike handling skills and some experience riding in a group, although the ride leader will provide guidance and support during the ride to assist with technique. This is a great ride to see if cycling is the sport for you or if you are just getting back on the bike this ride will help reignite the passion.
