NO SHOW and FREQUENT CANCELLER POLICY. If you consistently do not turn up for a ride, or are cancelling very late or often with no reason, you could be bumped from future rides or dropped from our meetup group. This applies if you have done this more than twice.
Please be considerate to others. We are frequently over-subscribed for rides with waitlists. If you don't think you can make a ride, please cancel during the week well before the event to give someone else a chance to ride.

We cater for all fitness levels and interests with rides ranging from 20-30 km for beginners to longer and more challenging rides of 50-100 km, to a variety of destinations. Something for everyone! The first Sunday of each month is generally an Easy Ride and is suitable for beginners or those returning to cycling after a break.
All our rides are free, however we kindly request that, if you like riding with us, you become a Paid-Up/Financial Member after a couple of rides with Bike Leichhardt.
