Looking for a group of riders to train with?

 
   

The following are regular rides in the Stawell and Horsham areas.

New riders are always welcome. However, occassionally a change to the usual routine may occur, so contact the listed person to check that the ride is on if you wish to join the group.

These rides usually have riders of mixed ability. Riders do not have to take a turn at the front of the bunch if they are not strong enough or do not wish to.

Stawell Area

Saturday Morning Coffee Run - Social Ride

This is more of a relaxed social ride, with an average speed of around 28kph. Meet at the Historical Society building car park, across the road from the tyre centre, (next to the BP Service Station on the Western Highway in Stawell at the turn off to Pomonal).

The ride leaves at 9am through winter and 8am through summer each Saturday, proceeding to Halls Gap for a coffee, and then returns, arriving back in Stawell about 11.45am (10.45am in summer). Total distance about 55km.

NOTE - This ride is now at the winter time of 9.00am

This is a regular ride throughout the summer, but can stop through the coldest months of winter. Contact Frank Stokes on 5358 2521 for details.
