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

The north-west riders are delivering their last ride of the year out of Forth this month and sitting down to plan next year’s rides and the fortnightly e-bike rides are continuing into January.

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.

Get ready for summer-time cycle touring

Don’t let the rain dampen your cycling plans for summer – come along to the touring and bike-packing show and tell this month and learn more about how to take to the road on two wheels for extended trips. We’ve also worked out some self-guided rides to make your Open House Hobart weekend easier.
