Are you new to cycling or want to improve your road cycling skills? The Velobourne team conduct free clinics on the last Sunday of every month. The topics covered in each session is lead by the participants, but you can expect to learn skills that will make you be a safe and active participant in group rides. Instruction will take place on the bike and we will cover between 25-50km in each session.

Mountain Bike Rides

The Chapel Street store runs mountain bike rides every 6 weeks or so. These rides change in location each time. The rides usually go for about 2-4 hours and vary in difficulty from simple trails on flat terrain needing a minimum level of fitness and a basic mountain bike to rocky winding single track with lots of hill climbs requiring a good level of skill and fitness on the bike along with a good quality mountain bike.

There are many stops during the ride to allow slower riders to rejoin the group. Often with bigger groups the ride is divided into a beginners group and an advanced group so everyone can have fun on the day. A mountain bike in good working order with knobby tyres and working suspension is an absolute requirement. For more info e-mail Darius or Grant on prahran@freedommachine.com.au
