The ride is finished of with an afternoon tea at the clubrooms.
During the winter months the Club runs a road development programme on Sundays for the junior riders, incorporating a host of events, team relays, criterions, handicap, mini tours, time trails and scratch races, specifically aimed at advancing the skills of our future riders, the programme allows for the parents to bring their bikes along and become involved in the fun.
Whilst in the summer months, track development takes place on Monday and Tuesday evenings on the velodrome, with a great variety of training sessions, a lot of which are motor paced accompanied with fun relays etc. Parents and open grade riders are also welcome to take advantage of this facility and sessions.
