UPCOMING RIDES

 

 

 

Young Ainelise – future Women’s World MTB Champ.

We run a variety of rides throughout the year from Single Speed Specials to MTB & road training rides, to rides for families & beginners.  Rides vary depending on what’s on in the wider world of cycling & the weather. 

 

NB: In the lead up to Christmas trading, our number of rides drops off but we encourage you to consider riding with Bicycle Queensland or the Brisbane Bicycle Touring Association.  See the details below.  Feel free to give us a call to see if any last minute rides have been organised as, even if we don’t have a formal ride going, we’re always riding!

Women's Ride to New Farm Park Farmers' Market

 

Do you want to improve your confidence on a bike?

Perhaps you want to ride with other women in a supportive environment?

Maybe you just want to discover more of Brisbane's great bike paths?

0r, perhaps you simply can't say no to a pleasant jaunt by the river, with a break for good coffee and a spot of fresh food shopping.

 

Held the 4th Saturday of the month to coincide with the Farmers' Markets, the Women's Ride follows a riverside route, using mostly bike paths, from the Epic Cycles' shop to New Farm Park and back.    It is geared towards developing women's riding confidence but riders who respect the slower speed and social nature of the ride (including supportive male riders) are welcome.
