With one of the purposes of the Club being to enable members to come together for companionship and mutual support, there are many organised rides to participate in.
Coffee mornings, visits to the local Bakery, overnight stays to the coast or just to discover new roads throughout Victoria, mid week rides - the list is endless with a variety of ride lengths, degree of difficulty, and times.
Organised rides are held at least three times per month, and generally depart from either McDonald's Waurn Ponds or Corio Bay Roadhouse in the morning and return by middle to late afternoon.
However there are also several overnight rides during the year. These rides are planned in advance with destinations and details published in the Branch newsletter. |
