Social Cycling - No Lycra Required

  • Collect a Rusty Riders Checklist - it’s a list of basic skills that riders need to have to ride safely with the group.
  • Come to the bike shed in Shipwreck Bay Holiday Park on the first Friday of the month and have your skills checked by experienced members.
