Maroubra Sunday Bunch Ride
The Maroubra Sunday Bunch Ride is a weekly ride for the more advanced/serious cyclist who doesn't take it all too 'seriously'. The ride typically consists of a couple of laps of the La Perouse circuit (including laps of Centennial Park - although the route does occasionally vary) and takes in a mix of climbs and rolling flats.
This is NOT a "no-drop" ride; riders should come expecting a challenging road ride and bring the proper equipment (we cover 50-60kms at an average pace of around 28-30km/h). Bring your road/race bike, helmet, supplies to fix a flat, nutrition and plenty of water.
Meet at the MC Cyclery Maroubra store for a 7am rollout - then coffee and renowned brekkie rolls cafe by 9:15-9:30am at the Centennial Park duck pond. Note: Called off if raining. Must be over 18 years old to join the ride.
If you have any questions, please contact the Maroubra store - maroubra@mccyclery.com.au

The McBff Ride
The weekly McBff Ride is brought to you by MC Cyclery and the wonderful folk at the Bicycle Film Festival (hence the mega-acronym). It's a fairly fast-paced, fun ride for beginner/intermediate cyclists and most often heads out to La Perouse and back (although the route & distance varies).
We cover 20-30kms at an average pace of around 25-28km/h - and is for anyone with a little bit of cycling experience who wants to get their legs pumping. Bring your bike, helmet, supplies to fix a flat, and plenty of water.
Meet at Centennial Park (Robertson Road gates - also known as the Horse/Entertainment Quarter gates) from 6am for a 6:15am sharp rollout - then coffee and treats at a cafe before 8am (usually 7:30am - 7:45am). Note: Called off if raining. Must be over 18 years old to join the ride.

Basic Bike Maintenance Workshops
Learn to keep your bike in mint condition, safe and fun to ride with a bike maintenance class designed specifically for you!
This introductory workshop is designed to teach you a number of basic bike maintenance tips and tricks, including bike anatomy, chain maintenance, measuring tire pressure, fixing a flat tyre and simple wheel care. We focus on quick and easy things that you can do to keep your bike running smoothly, things to look out for around bike wear & tear and a host of simple riding tips and ideas. When coupled with a regular service from our workshop, your new-found bike maintenance skills will help keep your trusty two-wheeled friend in excellent condition for years to come!
Our workshops are always relaxed and fun - and crammed full of great bike tips. The idea is to come along, have a cup of tea or coffee, learn about bikes and meet other people that like bikes too. We encourage you to bring your bike along (if you can) so you can get to know it really well - otherwise, you can always borrow one of the bikes in the store to practice on.
This workshop is free, however bookings are essential as they are rather popular (and we have limited class sizes)! Please email Nick or contact us on (02) 8021 5669 so we can save a seat for you. Hope to see you then!
