Beginners who have just purchased a bike, or perhaps unfamiliar with destinations or area, we have collaborated with Brisbane City Councils Active Parks Initiative to enable you the opportunity to cycle. These assisted rides give you different locations to cycle whilst enjoying a slower pace and getting to know your ability. If you find these rides too slow then its time for you to step up to the Clubs Saturday/Sunday Social rides.

Established in July 2002 as the “Gap Tornadoes Club Inc”, and renamed in Sept 2006 the “Gap Cycling Club Inc”, we have provided support to new riders while challenging the more experienced riders in our group.
The Club has a series of circuits ranging from 20km to 100km, some relatively flat to serious hill climbs. Hence, selecting a ride that suites you will ensure maximum enjoyment from the ride. After every ride there is always the post ride coffee and social chat time.
