Ride Information

For information on a specific ride, please contact the Ride Leader. A committee member can probably help with more general information.

Wednesday rides are conducted every week and are very popular. We meet at Blaxland McDonalds, and the ride commences at 9:00am year round. It's a great idea to take a thermos and something to eat with you as the destinations do not always have food and drink available. The ride destination is usually discussed and decided on the day.

Ride Calendar Meetings

We hold a meeting every three months where we decide on the ride calendar for the next quarter. It is held at the Springwood Sports Club on the day after the March, June, September and December monthly meetings. Everyone is welcome - particularly if you have some good ideas for rides or if you are willing to lead a ride or two.

We try to hold the meeting in the board room as it makes us all feel important, and we try to start the meeting at 7:30pm, but some come earlier and enjoy a meal at the Brasserie.
