The BBTA runs I've been on have a mix of female to males. Probably 40% female?Malaika wrote:Hi is there any females from brisbane who knows of any good riding clubs that concentrate on female riders all the clubs i have looked at has been more men orientated and barely have any information about female riding pls help !!!

I am also in BrisVegas...and yes... it sure does seem a man's world up here sometimes [not that I object to the view ]
However I am not at the fast end of the spectrum

Maybe try Duttons at North Lakes or Wolves Bike Den at Caboolture for some info.

I am in the Fassifern Valley... such a beautiful area for riding.
Best of luck in finding a group.

I too am in Brisbane and am looking to get into a cycling club. Im just starting cycling and was trying to think of the best way to go about finding people to ride with but Im a bit put off by the ratio of men and the fact that ill prob be a bit slow at first . If theres anyone (chicks!) that feels like meeting up for a ride a few times first so I can get the hang of it that would be great. Im 29, fit, live southside but have a ute so could travel to meet up. cheers

I'm not sure if I am too late, but I'd love to meet some ladies to ride with around Brissie. I am in Kelvin Grove, so quite central, and don't mind driving to meet up. I am a beginner though - so not very fast!
I rode last week with a ladies riding group called Bella Velo. They meet every Wednesday Morning at Sandgate at 6am (arthur Davies Park on Flinders Parade). It was really nice - I'll definately be joining them again.
If anyone is interested in meeting up for a ride - message me!
cheers

The BBTA runs numerous rides from Toombull and Wilston and are a lovely group made up of a mix of men and women. They have rides suitable from beginner and up but most of the social rides are suitable for beginners with road bikes. PM me if you'd like more info.

My wife does the Bella Velo rides sometimes so you'll probably meet her next week.

Getting dirty probably isn't really my thing - yet!
I'll definitely check out the BBTA as wilston is really handy!

There's no women's clubs that I am aware of.AC_io wrote:Hi, Im new to Sydney (Eastern Sub) and miss riding but dont know my way around, so I am looking to ride with a female gruop - does anyone know of a female riding group/club/ride or want to start?
However, there is a women friendly club in Dulwich Hill of which I am a member http://www.dhbc.org.au. Lots of women go on the Saturday ride to Centennial Park -details on the website. If you want to pm me I can work out a place to meet you and introduce you to a few other women. We recently had women's catchup after the ride to get women together. And we are planning an introduction to the track soon. We ride at Tempe which is not too far from some parts of the Eastern Suburbs. We have "no drop" rides to Waterfall on Sundays as well and there's always women on that ride, people who know the way (always a good thing) and a ride leader who will make sure the bunch is safe and that if there are any mechanicals, no-one gets left behind.
There's also a group of women on Sydney Cyclist http://www.sydneycyclist.com/ called "Sydney Girls Bike Club". Sometimes rides get organised through there are as well and I think I recall them meeting up on a weekday morning in Centennial Park for a training ride.
Do get in contact if you want more info.
