Social rides - Tasmania

Seniors get rolling across the state

Seniors Weeks has inspired two family-themed social rides so grandparents and grandchildren can ride together. In Hobart on the Intercity Cycleway to appreciate the solar system artwork by Tom O’Hern and in the north-west along the Coastal Pathway.

Spring rides start humming

As the hope of finer weather hangs in the ether, our ride leaders are forging ahead with plans for rides in the coming months.

Could you lead a social ride?

Our social rides are starting to gear up for spring after the return of some of our holidaying ride leaders and the weather starting to warm. This is a great time to look ahead and think about getting more active.

Winter rides stay close to home

The slow winter ride season continues but there are still a few rides close to Hobart and Westbury and Longford this edition. Note the north-west riders are not holding a ride in August but will back with all guns blazing in September.

Social rides stick close to Hobart

We’ve only got a handful of social rides to offer you this fortnight but they’re all great routes to get you moving, with three in and around Hobart and another three around Longford, Westbury and Cressy.

Social rides mix country and city

This fortnight of rides includes the big weekend away at Longford hosted by the north-west riders. Two days of riding out of Longford and Cressy is on the cards for anyone who wants to join in. And the usual city based rides are happening in and around Hobart.

Riding north to south with heritage touches

The newest addition to our self-guided Ambassador rides will take you from Launceston to Hobart through the middle of the island, with colonial-era sightseeing stop-overs along the way.

Cycle away the chilly days

Winter has well and truly arrived in Tasmania with shorter days and chillier weather, but that’s even more incentive to keep moving to stay fit and connected with others. Our rides in coming weeks will be sure to keep you warm, just remember your gloves and neck warmers!

Rolling through June

There’s no slowdown for our social rides this June, with plenty of options to keep you warm as we cool down for winter.

Exploring Hobart’s outskirts

Most of our social rides this fortnight explore areas outside of Hobart, taking advantage of quieter roads and paths. Please RSVP if you are interested in joining any of the rides this fortnight as our ride leaders will keep you updated if anything changes.
