Our Ride Calendar
To ride with us you will need to have an AusCycling membership. Find out more here.
Please note: working front and rear lights on bikes are mandatory from 1 April to 30 September
Our Tuesday morning Taster Ride is a relaxed, social spin with a few optional efforts for those feeling energetic. The ride lasts around an hour and winds through the leafy streets of Kew and Ivanhoe, including a stretch along the scenic Ivanhoe Boulevard. While there are spots for faster riders to stretch their legs, we always regroup and roll at the pace of the slowest rider. An inclusive ride. Stick around afterwards for a well-earned post-ride coffee and chat.
Wednesday Workout
Our Wednesday morning Workout Ride is perfect for intermediate to faster riders looking for a solid one-hour training session. We tackle Yarra Boulevard in Kew, starting with a warm-up lap followed by a faster-paced effort. The group often splits during the second lap, but we always regroup at the end. Stick around afterwards for a well-earned coffee with the crew.
Thursday Women's ride
Offers a balanced pace along Yarra Boulevard—steady, social, with optional efforts to build strength and confidence. It’s a little quicker than Tuesday’s ride but more relaxed than Wednesday’s. While this ride is promoted as our women’s ride, beginner men are always welcome. As always, we finish with a friendly coffee stop.
Saturday Bunch Ride
The regular club Saturday ride starts at 7:00 am.
There will be two Ride Leaders and two groups:
-
Fast Group – rides the 'Full Mount Pleasant Return' Route
-
Steady Group – rides the '525 Return' Route
If your routine Mount Pleasant climb time is faster than 21 minutes, the Fast Group is likely the right fit for you.
Not sure which group to join?
-
Have a quick chat with the Ride Leader on the day.
-
Don’t take it personally if they suggest switching groups — it’s to keep both bunches safe and enjoyable for everyone.
Over Summer, the monthly longer Saturday ride will happen with a 6:30 am start time. On those days, we’ll still have two Ride Leaders on the main ride.
Coffee/brunch afterwards.
Monthly Come and Try it Ride
Our Come and Try It ride follows a similar route to the regular Saturday ride, but at a gentler, no-drop pace—perfect for anyone keen to see if they’re ready for the hills.
Held once a month, it’s ideal for newcomers, returning riders, or anyone building confidence with longer distances. As always, we finish up with coffee and good conversation.
Monthly Gravel Explorers Ride
Join us for the BCC Gravel Explorers Ride, held on the third Sunday of every month. Each month, the route changes based on the ride leader’s favourite off-road gems, so no two rides are ever the same.
We’ll head out to discover the gravelly bits around Melbourne — and occasionally venture further afield, linking together quiet tracks, unsealed roads, and the occasional muddy surprise.
