Cycling
The cycle racing calendar for 2008-2009 is now available. View it on-line or grab a pdf for printing.
Training
There are three organised training rides each week. - Wednesday nights,
- Saturday morning, and
- Sunday morning
to improve bunch riding skills and to have a hard session with company. The course is a 25 km out and back which gives opportunity for riders who may have graded themselves a bit high to turn short and rejoin a bunch if they get dropped. There are a number of experienced cyclists available to help out beginners with training and skills problems.
If you haven't been before see the map to find out where to meet.
Saturday and Sunday morning rides are the more traditional longer bunch rides.
Saturday morning : 7:00am start from Roberts Bakery in Peisley Street, Moderate pace, average about 28kph.
Sunday 7:30am start from the corner of Forest Road and Huntley road, easy start 25kph. Stop for coffee at Millthorpe and cruise home.
Both rides are around 60km with an option of an additional 8km through the Tallwood loop on the Sunday morning. This loop is usually completed by the faster riders while the rest stop at Millthorpe for a coffee. Saturday morning may shorten up once we commence racing an Saturday afternoon.
