Unless otherwise stated, Yarra Ranges rides are usually on a Sunday and leave at 9:30am from the service road out side the park on the left heading north in Yarra Glen, a scenic 10 minute ride north from the Melbourne suburb of Lilydale. Depending on the destination and season, we may leave at other times or from other places and we often have weekend rides. Check this page often and please have a full fuel tank on departure.
RIDE ORGANIZERS WANTED !!
Ride organizers are wanted (preferably alive) for regular Sunday rides for the Yarra Ranges Branch. Despite the fact that we have close to 190 listed members of the Yarra Ranges Branch, we have very few willing to take up the challenge of leading a ride.If you are capable of jumping on your bike and ride to the supermarket you are capable of organizing a ride.There are different types of rides, from short casual day rides through to weekend (or longer) rides, to anywhere you want to go.
