Albany Over 50’s Cycle Group
RIDE CALENDAR June – December 2014
About the Over 50’s Cycle Group. Weekly Ride – each Wednesday We are a friendly group of recreational cyclists of all skill levels. We ride every Wednesday starting at 9.00 am (meet 8.50 am). We have about 30 active riders – both men and women, on all sorts of bikes. Starting places and routes are different each week. New riders are welcome to join us. It’s a great way to meet other people who enjoy cycling, and to explore the back roads of Albany. We ride all year round regardless of the weather. Most rides are about 40–55 kms. FOR MORE INFORMATION:

Some rides have a shorter option. Our Fees
Joining Fee is $20 (after 3 rides) for the first year and then $10 each year (pay by May 31 to the Albany Over 50’s Recreation Association). The Easy Riders Cycle Group
Easy Riders is ideal for people (over 50 years) who prefer to ride a shorter distance (25 – 30 kms) at a more leisurely pace (15 -‐18 kph). Contact Shawn Mullally on 0429 453 085. Ride groups are based on average overall speed. We usually have two or three groups depending on numbers of riders. As a guide the average speeds are 19-‐20 kph, 21-‐24 kph and 25-‐26 kph. The Ride Captain for the day appoints a leader for each group. There is usually a mid-‐ride break, and coffee after the ride at a cafe. Please bring water, a spare inner tube and a snack for the mid-‐ride break. Sunday Rides The Calendar includes some Sunday rides for road and mountain / hybrid bikes. More details to come. Don’t miss our inaugural Three Bays in a Day Ride on 23 November. KEY: CPR = CHESTER PASS RD
