If there are , let me know, but I can't find any.
I have been riding with my buddy every Sunday for 3 years and we don't miss many.
We are more of a 2 man breakaway than a peloton.
Sunday's ride to Chelsea: http://app.strava.com/rides/7522694
I think there would be some interest, 45-50km on a Sunday, back before 9am so the rest of the day is free.
Some of our regular rides are: Tooradin, Olivers Hill, Mordialloc, Pearcedale. If we have more time Emerald is good.
When it gets closer to ATB time we have done 100km+ training rides to Longwarry, Kooe WeeRup etc.
I can't ride this weekend, so the next ride will be Sunday 13-May, then every week thereafter.
Hope to see a few more people join us if you can.
Matthew

I rode alone, and in the weather and with Mothers day understandable. I had a cruisy ride to Tooradin Airfield, there was much character building as I fixed a puncture in the rain south of Tooradin...
It was a brisk 8 degree average, and a 10 minute stop for the tube was noticeable.
Surprisingly I didn't see any other cyclists this morning.
Hope next week will see the return of the clear weather.
Last year I almost missed my goal km for the year with low weekly totals in winter, so this year I just ride, unless it is full on raining when I leave.
If you head to cycling deal on Princes Hwy they have a great cycling jacket for $40 that works well to keep you warm & dry.
I am looking forward to seeing you next week.

Maybe I can get a leave pass to ride with you.
Where do the Sunday rides start from?

The first bunch goes at 7:00am which used to be a relatively easy ride of around 28-30km, however the pace of this has picked up and now averages in the low 30's. This ride was for those trying to get a few extra km's in. Usually around 15-20 people. This ride gets back by around 8:00am so the hardy can go out again.
The two main rides after that are 8:00am which is a race-pace 40-45km ride. They will wait, but not for too long. It's a hard ride. between 10-30 can be on this ride.
Then there is a ride at 8:15 that is a more moderate ride. About 35-40 km. Average is 28-30 and can have between 15-40 on it. This is a the ride I do.
There are slower rides that leave around 7:30 and 7:45 i think. These are for those how want some km's but don't want to go too hard. Even the 8:15 can get going at some points.
There is always a coffee on the go afterward although I rarely stay. I tend to ride from home near Bunyip, do the 8:15 and ride home. Usually home by 10:15am

Toppity, thanks for the details about Warragul rides, sounds like a good ride, I hope to get down there some time this year to try it out.

Well did the better half give you the nod to go for a ride tomorrow morning?oldnewby wrote:hey Matt, I'm waiting for the right moment to ask for a leave pass for this Sun morning... the mrs is working all day Sat, so may be a battle. will keep you posted. looking fwd to joining you one day soon anyway.
Weather permitting I would go except my body just cant handle it anymore, and if I came along and it was ridden at my pace, no one would get home before 10 am.

I enjoyed meeting Oldnewby, and sharing some of my favorite roads.
I was feeling a bit average today, must be coming down with something, I had no power up the hills. Hopefully will be better next week.

I feel like a ride to Tooradin or Warneet this week...
Both are about 50 km and flat (less than 150m climb over the whole trip).
Hope to see a few there.
