RAPHA MELBOURNE SATURDAY SOCIAL RIDE

Overview

This ride is a great opportunity for newer cyclists to ride with like minded individuals and get comfortable riding in a group setting. We will begin with a slightly longer pre-ride brief, covering the basics of bunch riding on the road before rolling out and we will ride together as one group. We will average around 20km/h on this route. This is a no drop ride and we will regroup when possible. Experience in group riding is recommended for this ride, and the ability to average 25km/h on flat roads. If your new to group riding then the Rapha 101+ Open Skills Session is the perfect space to learn important elements of bunch riding in a safe environment without distractions. This will establish a foundation to build on for this ride. Please pay attention to the ride briefing and listen to our ride leaders out on the road. This ride is suitable for road bikes with clip in pedals, no flat pedals please. This ride alternates between two routes, one a bit hillier to Bonds Rd and the other a bit flatter along Beach Rd.
