Cycling in Melbourne Australia

9ers

Information

We meet every Sunday at 08.45am for a ride starting at 9am at Cafe Racer. Riding along Beach Road, [about 25-35km/hr] to Mordy/Frankston. We also do other rides around Melbourne including Climbs (7 peaks), Organised rides (MAD, BAD, Otway, ATB, etc) and MTB . Riding and enjoying a laugh is the focus, so make sure you bring your sense of humour!! Oh, ensure your bike and kit are clean/well maintained - don't want any unnecessary accidents. *If you want to join 9ers, your request will be accepted, but you'll need to do at least 2 rides each month for your membership to be maintained :)

Comment by Patrick O'Brien on September 8, 2012 at 10:36pm: Great fun this morning at the velobourne clinic, it was well worth attending. As for the ride afterwards on kew blvd, I have to admit that I kinda enjoyed those hills...only kinda though.I still loathe hills.

Comment by Mark Paterson on September 8, 2012 at 8:26pm: Summed up perfectly Marlon. Ya forgot to mention that we all looked like hump back whales with our pouches full of the show bag goodies. Looking forward to reviewing the footage. The boulie ride was good too. Will be doing more of that one in the future. Just a pity Heather wasn't able to join us today.

Comment by Marlon David on September 8, 2012 at 6:33pm: Good ride this morning at Yarra blvd with the Velobourne and Liv Giant team. Patrick, Scott, Tim, Mark, Tracey, Kristin, and I represent the 9ers. And hopefully I captured some good footage worth uploading. Coffee at Kanteen afterward, a bit cold sitting outside but we got showbags from Giant to make it up. Then continued on riding the roller coaster at Kew blvd 1 lap. Thanks folks!

Comment by Heather on September 7, 2012 at 8:41pm: We've got a ride this Sunday 9 Sep 12, go to the facebook link above to see details.

Comment by Jack on September 2, 2012 at 6:31pm: You must have been hiding. I wast the cafe waiting out the front from about 08:45 until 09:02 there was one other guy waiting but no groups formed and eft I that time.
If you look at my strava upload the gap is the time I was waiting. Anyway I problem maybe ext time. I don't get down that way cycling much most of my riding is in the outer east in my hybrid today I was on a MASI road bike and a Fluor yellow top.

Hope the return trip was ok, the headwind when I rode up to the cafe was a bit hard.

Comment by Heather on September 2, 2012 at 5:11pm: Hi Jack, we were there, 11 of us left at right on 9am! Let us know what jersey you're wearing so we can spot you for next time :)

Comment by Jack on September 2, 2012 at 12:01pm: Must have missed you guys this morning. I rode past Cafe Racer way too early and then returned about 08:45. Waited until a couple of minutes past 09:00 but no groups getting ready to leave so I took off and enjoyed a nice tailwind run back to Sandringham. I will try to make it another time but I expect next time I would like to take my video camera and make another video. It has been a few years since the last one.
