Riding Groups NOR

[rabobank89]

Hey guys..

I am back NOR for a few months and I was wondering if there are any groups that are not associated with bike stores who ride on the weekends?

Northern beaches cycling club. Most others are shop rides.Why no shop rides ??

Regularly see a few packs (varying speeds) with ABC blinds gear heading between brighton and yanchep sunday mornings. I think it was someone from the northern beaches club who stopped in front of me in his car to hand over a card on the same route. No where near the amount of groups as there is round the city

Why no shop rides ??

I heard from a shop owner's Mum that their shops make half their big sales on the shop rides with 'one up' envy of the latest greatest.
Rabo probably feels a soft target for such sales tactics and trying to keep from being fleeced for a while...

Northern Districts Cycling Club ?

Thanks for the motivation, rabobank89!

I bought a Giant XTC 29er in 2011 and have ridden it quite hard on unsealed roads, but your post made me look a little harder at groups, and now I'm registered for an introductory MTB session at Kalamunda on the weekend! http://perthmtb.asn.au/node/40200

Normally I'm on my flat bar roadie, and I haven't done any MTB type rides (I don't count unsealed roads), so this should be an interesting experience!
