Cyclists are spoilt for choice. Not only does South Gippsland boast some of the finest rail trails in the State, but many rides take advantage of the picturesque rolling hills and lazy back roads that adorn the region. 

There are a number of informal , non affiliated cycling groups in our area that run regular weekly rides. Rather than try to run SGWAAC riders as a separate group it is simpler to participate with these groups, as a large number of our members already do. Plus after talking to the people concerned they are happy for us to join in .

Currently there are two main groups riding in the South Gippsland  area:

1. Easyriders - as the name implies , this group run casual rides of a more sedate nature , usually on rail trails with an occasional road ride or a mix. Most rides are around 30 - 40 km with a social coffee break at a popular cafe. To check out Easyriders - go to meeniyan.org.au - from the menu select Great Southern Rail Trail - scroll down to Meeniyan Easyriders for the latest rides. Conract Kerry on 0428 647440 or Zoe  on 0429 830307

2. The Lost Tribe (formerly the Coasters/B&B ( Bikes & Bakeries)) this group usually runs two rides per week - Mondays - a longer more challenging ride of around 60km . Thursdays - usually a shorter , more social relaxed ride or around 40km.

Both rides can be on road (mostly backroads), rail trails, gravel road or a mix. All rides usually have a coffee break about the midpoint . Contact Graham Clements on 0409 647560 if you would like to be a regular on the email list .

In addition to the above SGWAAC members are encouraged  to propose a cycling activity to be put on the website. This could include, short rides, day rides, cycling trips away and combined activity camps
