About Our Rides

Our club offers a range of rides to suit different skill levels and fitness. Each group ride has a ride leader who can help you along the way. Learn about Ride Leaders.

Visit the Calendar to select a ride that suits your fitness level. The Saturday, Sunday, Gravellers and Golden Beach group rides use WhatsApp to discuss inclement weather and who is coming. Contact the relevant ride leader to join their WhatsApp group. 

You can also just turn up 10-15 minutes before that start. If you like the ride, then join their WhatsApp group.
