Social Cycling - No Lycra Required

Friendly social cycling groups ride along Warrnambool's paths and trails regularly

How to join the social cyclists:

• You can register to join the Social Cyclists at the Archie Graham Community Centre
• 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.

What to bring: own bike & helmet (If you have them – they are available to borrow), enclosed footwear & light coloured clothing, water bottle, coat for wet cold & windy weather, mobile phone – if possible.
