Keeping cycling interesting
Here's why people love it
Our Rides
Leaders to assist
To keep the rides moving smoothly, we have volunteers leading in every group.
5+ Fitness Groups
We split our group into 5 different groups with different distance, speed, and experience. These are then subdivided as required to keep the groups the right size.
An Awesome Community
Anyone is down to help. We're a big community of passionate cyclists and coffee drinkers.
Here is how we stay safe
Group Philosophy
Safe and Efficient
Our groups should ride safely and efficiently.
Stick Together
We do not knowingly leave people behind.
Work Together
Although the rides are run by the shop, they are your rides. Please take ownership (help when required and follow the group guidelines, etc.)
Balanced Experience
The rides should be fun but challenging.
Self Sufficient
Every person must carry their own spare tubes and every person should carry a mobile phone to call for help if they have any issues.
Structured and Planned
With our route planning and leaders, we ensure we're always riding in the safest places and are prepared for the worst.
It's simple
Here's how to join

Pick a group
We have a large range of speed and distance groups to choose from.
We strongly recommend starting below your anticipated speed group and learning how we ride.
Avg. Distance | Speed
Group 1
These are the racing-snakes. It's going to be fast and competitive. There typically won't be designated stopping points, however, the group will stop if there is an accident or mechanical issues.
60km | 35km/hr
Group 2
Group 2 rides very similarly to group 1, except it's a bit slower and a shorter distance. It suits the faster rider who wants to push it a bit harder but isn't quite ready for group 1.
55km | 33km/hr
Group 3
This group is slightly more on the competitive side while still having a few regrouping points as needed.
50km | 30km/hr
Group 4
This group is perfect for experienced and fit cyclists who want a social ride combined with a good workout.
45km | 28km/hr
Group 5
This is a relaxed group, perfect for a new cyclist or someone wanting a more social ride. There are regular stopping points to make sure everyone is still together and there are no issues.
35km | 25km/hr
