Leaves from the corner of North Rd and Nepean Hwy.  There are 2 groups that depart from this location. One at 5:45am and one at 6:00am.  The 6am bunch is the more difficult one but each day has a different emphasis.

There is a small service road along Nepean Hwy near the BP Service Station where everyone waits for the ride to begin.   You can’t miss the dozens of cyclists waiting there.

Monday Morning

Very easy and social recovery ride.  Probably about 30km/hr.  Don’t try to ramp up the pace or you’ll look like an idiot.  The bunch will just let you roll off the front and no one will play along.

Distance: 40km

Finish: Easy big fella.  No bunch sprint finish today.

Tuesday Morning

Fast ride averaging over 45km/hr.

Distance: 40km

Finish: There is a bunch sprint at the BP station in St. Kilda at the end of the ride. The traffic can get a bit hairy and most of you are probably best off if you stay out of the final sprint so you don’t hurt yourself or others.

Wednesday Morning

Slow on the way out and fast on the way back averaging over 45km/hr.   You can also keep going through the Mordialloc roundabout with some others who will continue going to Mt Eliza / Two Bays which is about a 80-90km trip.

Distance: 40km

Finish:  There is a bunch sprint at the BP station in St. Kilda at the end of the ride. The traffic can get a bit hairy and most of you are probably best off if you stay out of the final sprint so you don’t hurt yourself or others.

Thursday Morning

Fast ride averaging over 45km/hr. Very much the same as Tuesday except that riders are starting to get tired and sometimes not quite as fast.

Distance: 40km

Finish:  There is a bunch sprint at the BP station in St. Kilda at the end of the ride.  The traffic can get a bit hairy and most of you are probably best off if you stay out of the final sprint so you don’t hurt yourself or others.

Friday Morning

Very easy and social recovery ride (Same as Monday).  About 30km/hr.  Again, don’t try to ramp up the pace or you’ll look like an idiot.

Distance: 40km

Finish: No bunch sprint finish
