Our rides

Over many years,we have run a strong program of rides - generally at least 4 per week throughout the year. We aim to offer a variety of rides at times to suit as many riders as possible.

[bullet] Tuesday easy rides are for people wanting a shorter ride

[bullet] Thursday riders like to get in at least 50km of riding at a good pace.

[bullet] Thursday easy riders might take a train to the city and head off for Williamstown. Pace is more leisurely.

[bullet] Half-mad members on Tuesday hard rides tackle serious hills on outings to such places as Toolangi

[bullet] Sunday rides for beginners and a separate ride for others are generally on the calendar all year

We also plan weekend stays in country towns to explore more territory.

We ride countryside, interstate and internationally : rides in South Australia, France, Thailand, Austria,Vietnam and New Zealand have been held in the last few years.
