Next few weekends sorted for rides

Take your pick of weekend rides in the coming fortnight, with rides south, east and north of Hobart and the north-west group making a weekend of it in Deloraine. Deloraine is a hub for cycling in the Meander Valley and this time of year is quieter for road riding.

Plan your winter rides now!

Our social ride leaders are planning well ahead, with rides going up for all of the winter months, providing incentive to get out and about during the colder weather.

Autumn out-of-towner rides

As we get into the beautiful settled autumn weather our social ride leaders are increasingly heading out of town to enjoy the great outdoors via bicycle. For the first time, we’ve also included planned north-west ride locations and dates for the rest of the year so you can mark your diary.

North-west riders look to next year

Social rides start cycling back

COVID travel restrictions means we’ve had jam-packed summer social ride calendars over the past few years but now that the restrictions have eased we are going back to normal conditions, which means our social rides will start to become fewer in the lead in to Christmas.
