Tuesday morning 6am Hour of Power, meet at Phillip cnr Melrose Dr and Hindmarsh Dr, pace fast A/B grade
Wednesday morning 6am Bilbys, meet at DIckson pool (Cowper St), several different groups depending on numbers, pace novice/easy to fast A/B grade. Each group does the same route with fastest group away first so if you get dropped you can get picked up by the next group coming along. DIffererent routes each week (4?).

Friday morning 6am Vikings Norman, meet at ANU (North Rd bridge near Sullivans Crk), several different groups depending on numbers, pace novice/easy to fast A/B grade. Each group does the same route with fastest group away first so if you get dropped you can get picked up by the next group coming along. DIffererent routes each week (2). *Must have CA licence for insurance

Can someone tell me which bunches have a good representation of riders in their late 20s - early 30s? I find its often more enjoyable ridingwith people of similar age.

I can only comment on the groups I ride in but both the Vikings Norman ride on Friday and the Bilbys ride on Wednesday have a good representation of 20-30 yo's. I know a few of the ANU team riders who do both groups, for example. The younger riders tend to be more in the slower groups however (medium and below). Having said that, most of the socialising happens at the cafe afterwards and not on the actual rides.hoon wrote:Can someone tell me which bunches have a good representation of riders in their late 20s - early 30s?

Yes they are mostly still current, if you are looking for medium pace then Wednesday morning Bilbys and Friday Vikings Norman have multiple different paced groups, I think the ride shop rides are also more medium paced (I've never actually been to one, I assume they are still running).silentC wrote:Are the above rides mostly still current? Bringing my bike to Canberra for a few days at the end of Feb and basically have nothing to do. Would be interested in joining any bunch rides that go at a medium pace. Not especially fit at the moment!
