Gold Coast bunches
Postby Mr Sandman » Sat Aug 06, 2011 8:53 am
Looking for info on Gold Coast bunches. Staying pretty much at Cavill Ave. Looking for a couple of hours a day most days. Am from out of town so general direction to meet point would be great. Fast, slow, big or small, dont mind. Thx.

There's always anyone going along the esplanade to the spit.
Your best bet would be to call the bike shops.

Been out with the Bikeforce guys and will continue to do so as of next week as my son's last AFL game is this Saturday...WOOOOHOOOO!! Can't do them unless he played on a Friday night.
Good bunch at the Oxenford branch and if you pass your details onto them, you will get an SMS with the details for the rides for the week.
This week SMS:
On Friday arvo I will get another one which details the Saturday rides. Speaking with one of the guys the other day, they did Binna Burra last Saturday (their advanced group) and out of 22, 10 made it to Binna Burra and 12 got to Beachmont. The advanced normally kicks off at 6:00am on Saturday and the people rest start at around 6:30 and they have some challenging routes around North Goldie and sometimes venture to the Spit..etcRides - Mon 5:30am South via Montrey Keys - Wed 5am fast to Beachmont no stopping no regroups and 5:30am south via Pac Pines - Fri Reverse Loop.
I believe they are going to try and do Beachmont/Binna Burra rides at least once a month from now on too from what I was told. Something for me anyway to aim for...
Hope that helps

Or come with us on the early ride. You don't have to go to Binna Burra... just go as far as you can.
5:40 for the Binna Buraa group (1st group) and 6:00am for the faster group to catch group 1 (I will be in the first group)
Being my first hill ride, will try for Binna Burra, however I hear it is one tough hill that final bit... but I am going to push for Beachmont.
Meeting place is the Oxenford Bikeforce shop. Coffee after the ride so bring $2.50

Then if there is a public holiday like last Friday then they did an extra ride.
