| We will have a 15km and a five km ride each time – the aim is to encourage more people to cycle more often. The group will travel at the speed of the slowest cyclist (this can mean waiting to regroup at various points). | All Moonlight Rides start from Rock N Road Cycles in Victoria Street at 7pm. Some months the ride will be about two days after, rather than before, the full moon because as the year progresses the full moon creeps closer and closer to the beginning of the month, hence becoming a bit too close to our ‘last Sunday’ rides… | |||
| All Sunday rides (except for those in red) will start from Java Jolt, cnr Victoria and Brisbane Sts, and end at another coffee shop around town (to be decided on the day). People who drive in will usually be able to find plenty of parking near Java Jolt, which is a good gathering place. | For the Moonlight Rides please ensure that your bike has both front and rear lights. Light coloured and/or reflective clothing is preferable to dull dark colours. | |||
| *The rides in red are organised by the Triathlon Club and are longer (<40km) and faster than the rides held on the last Sunday of each month. Others will be added to the list as the year progresses (there is usually one each month). | ||||
