Ride Info

1. THE RIDE PROGRAM

Please check the Facebook Group for details

2. POST RIDE COFFEE

Enjoy a chinwag over a coffee at the Coffee Sisters or Cadence Cafe after each session if you wish

3. BUNCH ETIQUETTE

An enjoyable, safe, cohesive and efficient bunch is reliant on all members of the group adhering to both accepted road rules and correct cycling etiquette. So each week there is a bunch etiquette focus to serve as a friendly reminder and to also help new riders learn what it is all about and your riding program outlines each week’s focus. Please read ‘Bunch Etiquette’ points in the tab above that outline all these bunch rules.

4. ULTIMATE GOLD RIDE

It is envisaged that each quarte or so the ‘Ultimate Gold’ ride takes place on the weekend, which may be a track day or a longer endurance ride through the Gold Coast hinterland. The idea of this ultimate challenge is to provide you something to aim towards, to see parts of the Gold Coast you may have never seen, and to ride your bike a distance or pace you never thought you ever could! This challenge may also take the form of entering in an event (eg: Teams TT, Bris-GC etc)

5. CYCLING KIT

Do you need a new cycling jersey or knicks? Kit up in the team kit. See the 'Cycling Kit' tab above.

6. WET WEATHER

If the weather is poor, check the Facebook Group for updates approximately 1hr before the ride si due to start to confirm cancellation.
