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 Heather on February 6, 2012 at 11:12am: Hi Daniel, we usually sit on between 25 and 35 km/hour, depending on who turns up on the day :)

Comment by Daniel Huang on February 5, 2012 at 8:38pm: Hi,

This group sounds really great. May I ask what is your usual average speed? I am not sure if I can keep up.

Comment by Heather on February 5, 2012 at 4:14pm: Another enjoyable ride today with me, Steve, Tim and his mate Malcolm turning up. Steve and I watched the Crit in Sth Melbourne beforehand and now agree with Andrea and Tim: wouldn't mind having a go at that! Though will hang out for the next Clinic before the attempt. Malcolm it was great to meet you and thanks for the scenic tour on the way to Black Rock, nice speed too, though I think we'll give "cafe armpit" a miss from now on!! Tim, Andrea and I are attending the bunch riding clinic next Sunday from 830 to 930 so don't think we'll get to the 9 Oclockers. Andrea, do you want to meet at Costco at 0730 next Sunday?

Comment by Tim on February 4, 2012 at 11:05pm: Think i wil have a lie in tomorrow, and head straight for racer for 9, I have got another rider to join us tomorrow from the grandprix bunch, and btw Alex, sorry bout today, i actually did forget your ride was on

Comment by Andrea Newson on February 4, 2012 at 8:42pm: Hi sorry people I wont be racing tomorrow in the AM or riding at all as we are flat out here tonight and I have to work again tomorrow night :-/ I will see you all next week!

Comment by mark divonski on February 4, 2012 at 11:21am: Guys, I can't meet at racer at 9am as have more family commitments. Enjoy the ride and happy birthday alex!

Comment by Tim on February 4, 2012 at 9:25am: Hi folks, just to confirm we are still gonna meet at the bridge and go to the crit

Comment by Heather on February 3, 2012 at 6:55pm: Hi Alex, last year I wore knicks, jersey and arm warmers: the top temp got to 6c and everybody froze the whole way! We had our car heaters at max and were still shivering when we got home: This year, longs and my winter jersey!! But the atmosphere was fantastic, all the volunteers and marshalls were locals, and the riders were from everywhere - a great country ride with 'organised ride' routes. I'm sure the MTB will be as wonderful as the roadie: regional areas know how to do it well.

Comment by Alexander Langman Hender on February 3, 2012 at 6:39pm: Looks pretty cool. I'd be tempted to do the 60 kay MTB option on the 'cross bike. Sounds like fun anyway!

Comment by Heather on February 3, 2012 at 4:51pm: Is anyone interested in doing the MAD ride this year? It's in Woodend on 1 Apr 12, I did the 65km option last year, really cold, but a lot of hills and country hospitality: it was great fun! Here's the link:
