Pedal to Penguin for 150th birthday

The north-west riders are heading to Penguin on Sunday 27 April to celebrate the town’s 150th birthday, with a photo shoot at the Big Penguin to mark the occasion!

Autumn rides head out of town

The southern rides are opting for the coast this fortnight with Bruny Island, Seven Mile Beach and Marion’s Bay features. In the north the Thursday night rides have finished as daylight savings winds up, but the Wednesday morning rides are still going strong.

Guide yourself through January

Southern social rides are done for the year, but the Launceston crew are continuing through Christmas and the new year and self-guided rides cover most of the state.

Social rides winding down for Christmas

Social rides are still rolling this fortnight – the southern rides are starting to wind down as we approach Christmas but the Launceston rides are still going strong through the holidays – note you get a 30 minute sleep-in on New Years Day though!
