This is a fun ride that is quick in places. The bunch will saunter down toward Queenscliff then quickly winds up into the lead-out and the sprint over the railway lines toward the Queenscliff Road. [The group may splinter here]. After the sprint, sometimes provides and opportunity for the entire group to back together, other times, the hammer drops and the pace stays high into Queenscliff Marina. Then it’s time for a coffee and chat at the Ferry Station – it is Sunday morning after all.
For countless years experienced bunch riders (and those wishing to ride safely and have a go) have gathered in the car park outside the store to head to Torquay.
Depending on the season, more intimate groups in winter and swelling bunches over summer cruise through Barwon Heads and 13th Beach Road at approx 30-35kph. Depending on the prevailing wind the group is typically two abreast, rolling though. At some point on the return trip from picturesque Torquay the pace winds up over 45kph and is maintained with strong rolling turns. The speed winds up again after the turn on to 13th Beach Road and with aleft hand lane onlysprint to the ‘Cadel’ line. [RIDE SAFELY!] Coffee afterward on the Terrace at ‘Foam’. Most mornings per week we have rides, ask instore for current timings.
